Source Water Assessments

The 1996 amendments to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act required that a Source Water Assessment be completed for every public water system, including all cities, towns, villages, townships, and including schools, restaurants, and other public facilities that have wells or surface water supplies. While the regulation required the assessments to be completed by 2003, many states, counties, and cities are still in the process of completing the assessments.

Aqua TrueVue automates the collection and analysis of groundwater data within a GIS platform to build a platform for ongoing aquifer testing. While the technology is best suited for communities with sensors (e.g. digital flow meters and digital water level sensors), it can be used to prepare higher quality and less expensive assessments for any water supplier. Moreover, the capital cost of instrumenting your wellfield can be quickly recovered given the high cost of consulting and ongoing “studies”.
