Implementing Adaptive Level Control Systems for Stormwater Ponds with Ross Bintner

The Public Works Nerds

Meet Ross Bittner, Engineering Services Manager from Edina, Minnesota, who has an extraordinary passion for water resources and a knack for innovation. Ross and I nerd out in this episode about a new Adaptive Level Control System that the City of Edina is using to create additional storage in a stormwater pond in advance of rain events. Listen in as we discuss the details of this system and Edina's program to create flooding resiliency in their community.
We also talk a bit about how Edina is working to electrify their fleet.
I'm thrilled to have this true Public Works Nerd as my guest for our 15th episode. Enjoy!
