SNWA Monitors Arsenic And Chromium Levels With KETOS SHIELD and KETOS Smart Water Intelligence Platform

The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) addresses regional water issues serving more than 2.2 million residents in Southern Nevada. Including in its scope of responsibility, SNWA manages the Searchlight water treatment and distribution system which services Searchlight, Nevada. 

Given Searchlight's geological characteristics the Searchlight Wells produce arsenic. To ensure that only high-quality, potable water is being served to the Searchlight community, a chromium/arsenic ion exchange process is in place. 

Conventional water monitoring relies on manual sampling and lab testing. To test water at the Searchlight water treatment facility incurred significant expenses for time and travel and did not provide real-time data. Read on to see how the KETOS Smart Water Intelligence Solution was implemented to accommodate SNWA's high-frequency testing requirements.
