I received a verbal quote from Kevin Navidi, a Hachflow supplier. He mentioned around $45K for a four month lease on a wireless system installed by a company out of Portland. It would allow us to see real-time data of our system online.
I believe he was estimating this off a quote done for Estacada, but we will see what the real numbers are once it comes in.

Jennifer,
I think that’s a financial decision for the City and a longer-term outlook about the need for future flow monitoring. My initial recommendation is that the City would be well served, if you go through the investment process of purchasing the equipment and getting your staff up to speed, of having at least 4 meters.
To demonstrate compliance for DEQ, any rehab work will generally need flow metering afterwards so that the peak wet-weather flows can be predicted. Post-rehab monitoring will require at least a meter just downstream of each of those basins to gauge precise effectiveness as well as meters further downstream (e.g., flows into the WWTF).
For budgetary purposes, you could outsource the flow metering to an outside company for ~ $1500-$2000/meter/month. What is the cost/meter for the lease option?

Hi Rob - Quick question, is a 4 month lease option something you would recommend? Do you see the need to purchase all 8-9 meters or possibly just lease the flow meters with an option to purchase 1-2 for future needs?
Thanks,

Thanks Jennifer.
I would not recommend items 6-10 (the small diameter pipe bands will be needed but installing from the street level is sketchy when it comes to a reliable and quality install).
Sorry we keep missing each other, can we set up a time to talk flow meters and the I/I scope? Below is a snapshot of my calendar over the next three days that show open times:

Hi Rob, Keeping you in the loop - Here is a quote I received today from an ISCO regarding the meters. I am planning to give the hatchflow Sales person back tomorrow.

Jennifer,
Please see the attached quote that you requested. I’ve included multiple options for ring installation. Once you identify the line size and quantity of rings needed per size we can revise the quote.
I’ve also attached a couple of brochures for you to review. If you would like I could bring by some equipment for you to see? Let me know if this is something you are interested in.
Note that each one of the 2150’s use two 6V batteries that are not included in the quote. ISCO recommends the Energizer 529 6V battery. If requested we can provide startup and training for $1200 per day.
Thank you,
