The total potential savings of $554k is distributed across three primary use-cases: Process cost accounts for the largest portion at $300k (54%), driven primarily by energy spikes and operational inefficiencies. Reuse-related issues contribute $200k (36%), with significant concerns around salinity and conductivity affecting irrigation compliance. Sludge management represents $54k (10%) of the total, primarily from foaming episodes and polymer demand. The majority of these costs originate from the sewer network, with Industrial Area A and various inlet points being the primary sources. Addressing these issues requires coordinated monitoring and intervention strategies across multiple network segments.

Industrial Area A is experiencing significant salinity and conductivity issues that are impacting the WWTP's reuse capabilities. The primary concern is elevated electrical conductivity (EC) levels, with spikes detected upstream that correlate with effluent exceedances. Facility A and Facility B are contributing to the problem, with Facility A showing higher cost impact ($20k) and high risk levels, while Facility B has moderate impact ($15k) with medium risk. The remaining $175k in costs comes from other sources within the area, primarily related to salinity discharge events that trigger extreme risk classifications. These episodes require increased aeration and operational responses, driving up process costs and threatening irrigation reuse compliance.
