Alexandrina Council has the 3rd largest wastewater network in South Australia. The wastewater utility is responsible for connecting, treating, storing and disposing of treated wastewater through a large infrastructure network for over 7000 connections. The assets are managed by a relatively small number of FTEs over a large geographical area and, despite best efforts, the operations are predominantly reactive and symptom based.

There was a need to consider the future possibilities surrounding the IoT that would enable operations to become more efficient and deliver insight for strategic asset planning.

“We wanted to ensure a strategic approach was well understood before considering procurement. We needed to cover the integration of existing and new technology into a future state that would deliver the necessary benefits we expect of an IoT project.”

The Sustainability Manager, Mr Gary Lyons
