project with Con-cur West Inc., a Coquitlam-based plumbing equipment supplier. Con-cur West, provides_x000D_
plumbing and pipefitting equipment and supplies in western Canada, including backflow preventers which_x000D_
prevent contaminated water from flowing into municipal water supplies. With support from the Natural_x000D_
Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) on a level 2 Applied Research and Development grant,_x000D_
Con-cur West will be able to provide a product that can detect failure or tampering with backflow preventers,_x000D_
improving the security of municipal water supplies._x000D_
Having already completed a proof of concept design. This project will focus on design refinements, advanced_x000D_
testing, and preparation for manufacturing. Backflow preventers are used throughout the water supply system_x000D_
to prevent contamination. This remotely monitored system will improve water security and make problem_x000D_
detection easy and fast. The project will involve students from Camosun College who will gain valuable real_x000D_
