Goal and impact
The aim of this programme is to be quickly aware of breakdowns so that they can be fixed. The pumping stations can also be measured, adjusted and controlled remotely. This means we also collect information on the consumption of electricity and water. The pumping stations also communicate with the water boards' pumping stations.
Considerations
An advantage of this programme is that faults are sent to an employee's phone via the programme. Who can then immediately see which pump and fault it is. The pump can be controlled remotely. This saves time and money.
A disadvantage of this programme is that the municipality is dependent on technology. The pumps communicate with an internet connection.
Human intervention
In case of an overload or malfunction, the pumps can turn themselves off. The employee can assess whether something needs to be done to resolve the fault. When the malfunction is resolved, an employee must also reactivate the pump itself. Finally, maintenance and inspection are done on site.
Risk management
In the event of a failure, an employee reads the information and then decides what to do. So the risks of a failure are assessed by a human, not by the programme. The programme only indicates what is not working, not what the consequences might be.
In pumping stations are connected to the internet for communication. This connection is maintained by the vendor of the pumping station.
Legal basis
Under the Environmental Management Act, the municipality is obliged to dispose of wastewater

Similar algorithm description
- The sewage pumping station maintenance detection algorithm recognises early when a sewage pumping station pump needs maintenance so that preventive action can be taken. This prevents blockage, wear and possibly even damage. The algorithm has been implemented on 180 sewer pumping stations.Last change on 6th of March 2025, at 10:52 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
