Lower Brule 
Indian Reservation
and wireless
monitoring systems.​​ 

The South Dakota reservation
wanted to conserve its water
resources and reduce cost.
​​ 

 

Challenge​​ 

The reservation wanted to better conserve its water resources and reduce truck rolls to repair equipment.​​ 
  • Local Brule has limited water resources and needs to identify and manage high-usage customers, leaks and free-flowing taps where water is lost or wasted.​​ 
  • It managed tank and pipeline meters that were often placed up to 60 miles apart and located in very remote homesteads and pasture lands.​​ 
Remote-monitoring use case

Solution​​  

Using remote-monitoring solutions from Verizon, the Lower Brule reservation was able to more efficiently manage its water systems and usage.​​ 

  • The reservation added 4G LTE connectivity to water meters through out its system, which allowed the meters to capture and deliver usage data.​​ 
  • The system transmitted daily water-meter readings during low-usage hours and more frequently during high-usage periods.​​ 
Remote-monitoring use case

Outcome​​ 

With the remote monitors in place, the reservation could spot potential issues much faster, plus learn exactly how much water it uses.​​ 

  • Identified 20 free-flowing pasture taps within 24 hours of installation​​ 
  • Facilitated maintenance by directing personnel to leak areas along 500 miles of pipeline​​ 
  • Mitigated the risks of running out of water by proactively managing tank levels to handle heavy water users​​
