How Memphis is Advancing Wastewater Compliance with Co-Pilot™ SCADA

To protect water quality and meet the growing demand for wastewater infrastructure, the City of Memphis is taking a proactive approach to water management. A key part of that strategy includes individual businesses and organizations deploying the Cornell Co-Pilot™ SCADA Lift Station system—a powerful, cost-effective tool for real-time monitoring, reporting, compliance, and system performance, to monitor and control their pump out wells before sending into the force main.

Co-Pilot SCADA helps Memphis:

  • Monitor storm and sanitary lift stations for overflow prevention and system health
  • Support enforcement of wastewater ordinances and illicit discharge detection
  • Track pump run times and generate automated compliance reports
  • Ensure private wastewater controls are functioning through better visibility
  • Respond quickly to emergencies such as overflows and high float conditions
  • Better manage flow conditions to optimize system (e.g., discharging late night when usage is lower.)


With 4G LTE connectivity, remote access, GPS location tracking, and fault alerting, Co-Pilot SCADA ® enhances Memphis’s ability to efficiently capture the data required for managing and maintaining their wastewater infrastructure.

Technical Capabilities Include:

  • Ethernet or cellular cloud access
  • Modbus RS-485, analog and digital inputs (8 analog and 4 digital)
  • Real-time fault alerts and service hour logs
  • Compatibility with 120VAC or 12–24VDC systems
  • Automated reporting and configurable alerts
  • GPS location tracking (useful for mobile units)
  • Live updates for two pumps (per system)
  • Utilize the industry leading RPM2 software monitoring system
