Fergus Falls, MN: Cellular Alarms for Remote Pump and Tank Sites

Fergus Falls is one of the municipal operators that report to a TankVitals dashboard. Here is how an S2C deployment works for a small city crew.

The problem: sites nobody is watching overnight

Small utilities run lift stations and tanks spread across town and beyond. A crew cannot be at every wet well, so a failing pump or a power loss often surfaces as a call from a neighbor, after the damage is done.

Overflow risk

A rising wet well with no one alerted can become a sanitary sewer overflow.

Overnight blind spots

Failures at 2 AM wait until a morning round or a resident's phone call.

Municipal pump and tank site in Fergus Falls, MN

Each site gets an S2C alarm unit wired to the signals the station already has, reporting over cellular with no phone line or radio path.

Level and float inputs

Four 4-20 mA inputs and up to 12 alarm inputs cover wet-well level, floats and pump faults.

Runtime and power

Up to 4 pump run timers and AC power loss detection show how pumps behave and when a site loses power.

Alerts that find a person

Voice, text and email callouts go to the on-call operator, and every site appears on one dashboard.

The Crew Install

What the crew gets today

Operators see every site on one screen, receive alarms the moment a reading drifts out of range, and export daily pump runtime and temperature history for compliance records, on a month-to-month plan with no contract.
