en.Wedoany.com Reported - Yorkshire Water is upgrading telemetry equipment on Cleveland Avenue to enhance monitoring and prediction capabilities for storm overflows, enabling faster response to network anomalies and preventing potential pollution incidents.
Telemetry technology is used to automatically collect data from storm overflows and transmit it to a central location, allowing the Yorkshire Water team to track overflow operation times and respond to anomalies or issues in the network. This data is also fed into Yorkshire Water's real-time storm overflow map, where users can view the most recent discharge time of each storm overflow point.
Ciara Phillips, Project Manager at Yorkshire Water, stated that upgrading the telemetry equipment will improve its performance, enabling the team to better monitor and predict when flows in the combined sewer network reach high levels and when there may be a risk of pollution incidents. The team can then more quickly dispatch response teams to overflow points and take proactive measures to prevent discharges.
Contract partner CHG Electrical will begin work at the Cleveland Avenue overflow point on Monday, June 15, with completion expected before the end of this week.
At another location in Scarborough, Yorkshire Water has launched a public consultation on a multi-million pound investment in the local sewer network, aimed at changing how sewage and rainwater are managed in the area and improving bathing water quality. The company is exploring various options to reduce storm overflow discharges, including constructing separate rainwater pipes, underground storage tanks, underground tunnels, and adopting nature-based solutions or sustainable drainage systems such as rainwater harvesting, permeable pavements, grass swales, and rain gardens.
