Employees of LimnoTech prepare to have a smart buoy taken into Lake Erie and placed near a Cleveland Water intake near Euclid.CLEVELAND, Ohio – The smart buoys that have become an important source of data for Cleveland Water and other organizations that monitor Lake Erie were redeployed Wednesday.
The Cleveland Water Alliance paid for the development of the four buoys, which cost an average of about $80,000 each, said Bryan Stubbs, president and executive director of Cleveland Water Alliance. “These buoys provide us information that we have no other way to get,” said Scott Moegling, manager of water quality at Cleveland Water. “They are basically floating laboratories. They work 24-7 in all weather conditions providing us data of what our raw water quality looks like at that point in time.”
