Sondes are becoming cheaper, giving smaller utility operators in smaller watersheds access to 24/7 water monitoring technology.
CLEVELAND — Nearly 11 million residents depend on Lake Erie for drinking water. To help keep that water safe, a tool called sondes is used to measure what is in the water. Its sensors detect a variety of data, from oxygen levels to potential contaminants. The data collected is instantaneously sent back to utility operators in real-time to make needed adjustments.
Sondes aren’t new, they’ve been around for about a decade. However, as technology improves, they’re becoming cheaper, giving smaller utility operators in smaller watersheds access. This week people all over Northeast Ohio came to Cleveland State to learn how to use the sondes in partnership with Cleveland Water Alliance and Freeboard Technology. Bill Hayward with the organization, Friends of the Mahoning River, said they only sample once a quarter, but getting a sonde would allow them to test 24/7.
In a separate project, Cleveland Water is installing Clear Reads in Westlake to replace all water meters in homes and businesses. It should reduce estimated reads, and provide early leak detection, accuracy in your water bill, and overall efficiency at no cost. Verhamme believes whether it's testing bodies of water or reading the water meter at home, improving technology and making data readily available is vital for good health.
