Orange County’s Water System & Challenges
Orange County Utilities relies on groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer, providing safe drinking water to thousands of residents. In August 2021, the county launched a pilot program to test Halogen’s MP5 multiparameter sensors
Challenges before MP5 Implementation:
Manual grab sampling required frequent truck rolls, increasing labor costs.
Power limitations at monitoring sites made real-time monitoring difficult.
Water quality inconsistencies due to limited data points and manual intervention.
Implementing the Halogen MP5 Sensor
First Trial – East System (Dec 2021)
Installed in a challenging location
No acid cleaning required after one year of operation
Power supplied via marine batteries, later optimized for solar power
First Trial – East System (Dec 2021)
West System (March & July 2022)
Installed two additional sensors
South West System (August 2022)
Two more sensors deployed
MP5 sensors accurately monitored chlorine,
pH, and temperature across different sites
