The Pipe That Breaks on Monday Was Deteriorating for a Decade
Most water infrastructure risk is underground and invisible.
Water and wastewater utilities manage treatment plants, pump stations, and thousands of miles of buried pipe that are well past their design life. Rivolq helps utility teams connect above-ground equipment condition to below-ground risk — and translate infrastructure data into the consent decree compliance language regulators demand.
Why Water Infrastructure Risk Stays Hidden Until It Surfaces
The most critical infrastructure is buried six feet underground where condition assessment is expensive and disruptive
You cannot visually inspect a 60-year-old cast iron main. Condition assessment requires excavation, CCTV inspection, or acoustic monitoring — all of which cost money and disrupt service. Most utilities assess a fraction of their buried network annually.
Sanitary sewer overflows trigger EPA enforcement actions and consent decree milestones with hard deadlines
An SSO is not just a spill — it is a compliance event. Under a consent decree, each overflow is documented, reported, and potentially fined. The pump station that caused it may have been showing signs of degradation for months, but the work order was in the queue behind 40 others.
Treatment plant operations depend on SCADA systems and mechanical equipment that fail in correlated ways
When a VFD fails on a primary clarifier drive, the backup is manual operation — which requires an operator on site 24/7. When the SCADA system loses communication with a remote pump station during a wet weather event, operators are blind at the worst possible moment.
How Rivolq Helps Water and Wastewater Utilities
Map the chain from pump station to treatment plant to outfall — and see where failures propagate
Rivolq traces flow paths, electrical feeds, and SCADA communication chains across the collection and treatment system. When a lift station shows pump degradation, you see the upstream capacity it protects and the downstream treatment impact of a failure.
Link infrastructure investments to specific consent decree milestones and compliance deadlines
Every capital project and maintenance action is mapped to the consent decree requirement it addresses. Track progress against milestone deadlines and generate compliance documentation without pulling data from five different systems.
Monitor pump health, wet well levels, and generator readiness across every remote station
Remote pump stations are the first line of defense against overflows. Rivolq tracks pump runtime, vibration trends, generator fuel levels, and backup power test results — so you see which stations are vulnerable before the next wet weather event.
