A Revolutionary Approach to Water Service Inspections

In an era where efficiency, affordability, and community-friendly solutions are essential, Juno Maps is thrilled to unveil HydroScout, a portable, cutting-edge system designed to transform water service inspections. Tailored to meet the evolving needs of municipalities and water utilities, HydroScout delivers a cost-effective, rapidly deployable, and whisper-quiet alternative to traditional soft dig methods. With its compact design and innovative approach, it's poised to revolutionize how we comply with the EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) and Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), particularly the critical requirement for visual inspections of lead service lines.

Why HydroScout Matters

With roughly 50,000 community water systems across the U.S. working to ensure safe drinking water, the stakes have never been higher. The EPA's LCRR and LCRI regulations have sharpened the focus on identifying and addressing lead service lines, requiring utilities to adopt efficient and effective inspection methods. Traditional tools like hydrovac trucks, while effective for some tasks, are often overkill for residential settings: their size, noise, and operational complexity can disrupt neighborhoods and slow down progress.

HydroScout steps in as a game-changer. By blending portability, quiet performance, and practicality, it tackles these challenges head-on, offering a solution that's as effective in tight urban streets as it is in suburban backyards.

What Sets HydroScout Apart?

HydroScout's strength lies in its thoughtfully designed components, each chosen not just for performance but for reliability and accessibility:

• Generator: Quiet yet robust, it powers the vacuum and pressure washer simultaneously for hours, keeping operations smooth and unobtrusive
• Wet/Dry Vacuum: With a generous capacity and built-in drain, it handles mud and water effortlessly, staying light and mobile for field use
• Pressure Washer: Efficient and precise, it provides powerful water pressure with minimal flow, enabling non-invasive excavation that saves resources
• Water Tank: Refillable and practical, it supplies ample water for continuous work and pairs seamlessly with residential spigots
• Steel Cart: Sturdy and easy to maneuver, it supports the entire system, letting teams glide through neighborhoods without hassle
• Hand Auger: A simple yet effective tool to start the hole, reducing backsplash and ensuring a contained, minimally invasive excavation site

A Smarter Approach to Inspections

HydroScout redefines how inspections get done. Compared to conventional hydrovac systems, it brings a suite of advantages:

• Cost-Effective: Far more affordable than traditional setups, enabling broader adoption without straining budgets
• Quiet Performance: Low noise levels keep disruptions to a minimum, making it ideal for residential areas
• Compact Design: Small and portable, it navigates spaces where large trucks struggle
• Eco-Friendly: By using less water and fuel, it supports sustainability while delivering top-notch performance
• Fast Deployment: Multiple units can hit the ground at once, scaling efforts to meet tight deadlines

Meeting Compliance, Supporting Communities

HydroScout isn't just equipment; it's a timely solution to an urgent challenge. With the LCRR and LCRI driving systematic inspections nationwide, utilities need tools that are practical, adaptable, and community-focused. HydroScout checks all those boxes, making inspections quicker, quieter, and more affordable while keeping residents' needs in mind.

At Juno Maps, we see HydroScout as the future of water service inspections: a blend of innovation and reliability that meets the industry's toughest demands. As we launch this groundbreaking system, we're eager to see it empower utility teams, streamline LCRR and LCRI compliance, and foster stronger ties between water providers and the communities they serve.
