Greenville Water prevents damage with real-time PRV monitoring
Battery-powered PRV Monitoring units gave Greenville Water live insight into remote valve stations. Within weeks, the team intercepted a dangerous pressure spike and resolved it before downstream customers were impacted.
Challenge
Greenville’s remote, underground PRV stations operated outside SCADA coverage. Without power or communications at these vaults, the utility relied on periodic manual inspections that offered little warning before pressure excursions damaged infrastructure or disrupted customers.
Solution
Olea deployed six self-contained PRV Monitoring units that track inlet and outlet pressure at configurable intervals and send encrypted data over cellular networks. The devices run on battery power, install quickly, and require no SCADA integration, providing Greenville Water with a live dashboard for each station.
Results
Shortly after go-live, the platform flagged a major pressure spike. Operations staff received the alert immediately, dispatched a crew, and corrected the issue before it damaged downstream assets. The deployment now delivers continuous awareness across previously invisible sites.
