The SL-RAT (Sewer Line Rapid Assessment Tool) is helping the Taupo District in New Zealand get a better understanding of pipe blockage conditions before allocating cleaning resources. The acoustic testing is helping the city to prevent sewer overflows before they happen. The SL-RAT is being used to discover and map out the trouble spots in the Taupo district according to Michael Cordell, the Water and Waste Asset Manager.
