The flow monitoring program and the modeling program, although two separate projects, go hand-in-hand to enable DeKalb County to plan for future growth and find areas that need rehabilitation in order to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows.

The flow monitoring program has an ongoing project to add new meters to the wastewater collection system and have the meters provide real-time data on the flows going through the major sewer lines.

The modeling program is separated into two segments, the water distribution system and the wastewater collection system. The wastewater collection system will be modeled first and the flow monitoring data will be used in the model. The two models are very powerful tools for the County to help provide great service for its citizens.
