The Corporation of the Aqueduct and sewerage from Santo Domingo (Caasd) yesterday opened a Monitoring Center of the systems of production and supply of water Drinking that will allow responding to customers residing in the Great Santo Domingo.
It is a system digital through which the institution supervises the consumption and the energy quality of each engine, the production of water of each well, the ignition and off control of pumps, and the surveillance through security cameras, as well as the control of access to the stations from the center.
Felipe Suberví, director of the Caasdhe informed that it is a system which is already used in developed nations and aims to give immediate answers to situations that originate or can occur in the system of Aqueduct of the National District and the Province Santo Domingo.
“It will have the ability to inspect and monitor the grid of water and sewer in real time, allowing a quick response to changing needs. In addition, it will use advanced analytical tools, which will increase the performance of the gridensuring a supply of water efficient and reliable, “said Suberví to the president Luis Abinaderwho attended the act.
The pilot project will understand a “plan of area“In 50 georeferenced pumping systems that will be monitored in the National District, of a total of 450 that exist in the Great Santo Domingo.
“We can automatically turn on, turn off the system From here remotely. That is, a person does not need to go to that. We can see the ability to production That has that system of pumpingbut we can also see the consumption electric of that system“The director of the Caasd.
Another ease is that they can monitor the pump systems in the shots works and prevent motors from burning when electric power fails, all from the Monitoring Center.
He explained that in case there is a high or low voltage, the Monitoring Center sends him to system an alarm about the problem, but also if there are low pressure. The official said that the cases of the low pressure Frequent in many sectors, they will be solved with this system.
Similarly, from the center you can suspend the service of water To delinquent customers in less than 15 seconds, but immediately pay the service It is replenished in no more than 12 seconds. Reported that the modern system It has a cost of about 50 million pesos.
He pointed out that, with the implementation of Meters of water intelligent, real -time monitoring of the consumption of water of almost ten thousand clients, together with the remote cutting and reconnection capacity of the service to further improve efficiency and user attention. Also, automation of the Call Center for the improvement and efficiency of service provided
Currently the production of water It ranges between 440 and 450 million gallons a day and the goal is to reach 500 million, because with the new system Many leaks will be treated with time. The pilot project will be extended to the other demarcations responsibility for the Caasd.
