Collection System Monitoring

In order to be proactive in its approach to wastewater treatment, MSD has reviewed the need for collection system sampling and monitoring. From this effort, a new program entitled the Collection System Monitoring Program emerged.

As a result of this new program, 17 sites have been selected for flow monitoring and data collection within 4 treatment plant areas. These four treatment plants, which include Morris Forman, Jeffersontown, West County, and Hite Creek, are the only ones within Jefferson County that have permitted industrial dischargers. The Executive Team approved the following:

1. Installation of permanent flow monitors at the 17 approved sites.
2. Flow monitors to be placed on the MSD telemetry system.
3. Periodic sampling at the 17 approved sites.

Sampling is tentatively scheduled to be conducted quarterly. The flow and mass loading data will be used for many purposes, including system trend analysis.
