A method and system for monitoring and analyzing flow in a sewer system
includes the steps of using a monitoring assembly to collect data
representative of actual flow volume of a fluid substance in a first
location such as a sewer pipe, storing the actual flow volume data in a
memory, maintaining previously stored data in the memory, determining a
predicted flow volume and comparing the actual flow volume with the
predicted flow volume to yield a difference value. The predicted flow
volume is dependent on the data selected from the previously stored data
and a day and time that corresponds to both the actual flow volume data
and the data selected from the previously stored data. The predicted flow
volume may also be dependent upon additional data corresponding to a rain
event.
