Smart Hydrants
Charlotte Water is seeking a contract with a company to provide smart hydrants. Charlotte Water is testing multiple solutions to measure system pressure throughout the water network. The solutions utilize “smart hydrants” that take pressure measurements at pre-defined intervals and store the information to a cloud-based application. The selected solution will be used to replace the existing monitors currently in use. The existing monitors are attached to hydrants and require the hydrants to be charged. They are also removed during the winter months and reinstalled in the spring. The new “smart hydrants” will not need to be removed/installed every year and do not need the hydrant to be manually opened to record pressure readings. The new solution will stream-line the process for Charlotte Water and allow for more frequent/timely measurements.
