“Tetra Tech has brought us true technical and operational expertise for the implementation of a real time control system to manage urban effluents in wet weather in the Metropolitan Bordeaux area.
“Real time control is a critical component to the City’s Long Term Control Plan to address CSOs and protect Wilmington’s waterways. Over the years, Tetra Tech has worked closely with our staff and City operator in meeting our objectives.
“I have enjoyed working with Tetra Tech on the MSD’s RTC system. Tetra Tech is quick to respond to my questions and needs related to the O&M of the local control sites and the central system.
We are among the selected communities that have utilized Real Time Control that makes optimum use of our sewer capacity to manage and minimize overflows. This plan is cheaper, quicker and actually increases the amount of overflow we're trying to catch.
In addition to reducing the occurrence of CSOs by 60% and the volume of contaminated water by 50%, RTC has also allowed over $90 million in savings in equipment.
The results of the study indicate that the condition of the Marne and Seine rivers has improved greatly and show a 50% improvement in water quality during wet weather.
It is great to work with people who understand these RTC systems as well as your team does. Your team has a great understanding of the RTC facility’s purpose,
Real Time Control (RTC) is the most cost effective way to address the problem of untreated overflow into Beargrass Creek and the Ohio River. This will be a significant improvement to our system.
