Located in the heart of Loudoun Valley, a dedicated team of four manages both the town’s water distribution and wastewater collection systems. They also maintain a small hot spot program.
Like many rural utilities, Purcellville faces the challenges of limited budgets and small staff. Due to their limited team, their goal has been to clean and inspect 20% of their system each year.
Purcellville adopted a condition-based maintenance program to more efficiently meet their goals. They purchased a SL-RAT in 2018 and measured 50,000 ft in the first year.
A Perfect Solution for Rural Water: Purcellville has reduced cleaning by over 50% and has saved over $180k. Additionally, they have saved over 800k gallons of flushing water.
Acoustic inspection has been a gamechanger for our system. We are working more efficiently and reducing risk in our system.
