Description
The San Antonio Water System is soliciting quotes to pilot and evaluate pump protection and anti-ragging technologies aimed at reducing pump clogging, improving operational reliability, and lowering maintenance and energy costs at wastewater lift stations. The pilot focuses on technologies that detect and mitigate ragging, wipes, and other non-flushable materials causing pump inefficiencies and service disruptions. The objective is to validate solutions compatible with existing pump infrastructure that reduce manual cleaning, emergency callouts, and extend asset life while providing measurable operational and financial benefits. The pilot duration is 120 days or as needed.
