Business Comments:
The city of Omaha has been doing business with
the Harry Ferris Company since at least 1973, that is when I began
working for the City of Omaha. My experience working with the Harry
Ferris Company is a very good one. They have always provided excellent
service and technical support.
Equipment Comments:
The first pieces of ISCO equipment I remember
the city buying were 3230 bubbler flow meters and 1680 automatic
samplers; of the 24 bottle type. Before purchasing the 3230's we
were using Steven's flow recorders with floats. Back in those days
any purchase over $1500 needed to go out for bid; we had to buy
lowest bid. Sometimes we were forced to buy other brands because
of this process. My experience has shown me that ISCO equipment
is by far the best for cost, reliability, and simplicity to program.
Over the years we have probably purchased 80-100
ISCO flow meters and 50-75 ISCO samplers. We use the equipment for
several things:
1. Industrial flow monitoring and sampling for assessment of sewer
use fees and compliance with sewer codes.
2. Flow monitoring and sampling of combined sewer overflows or "CSO's"
for gathering data to build a model for the separation of storm
and sanitary sewers in the city of Omaha.
3. Flow monitoring and sampling of separate storm water sewers.
This data is used to develop the city of Omaha's long term storm
water control plant.

Business Comments:
We bought our first ISCO sampler from the Harry
Ferris Company in the fall of 2005. We've had trouble free operation.
In the winter of 2006 we purchased our second refrigerated sampler,
an ISCO 4700.
Equipment Comments:
Before these ISCO's we were using Century samplers.
I did not like their design.
The pump, lines, and collection basket were all in the refrigerator;
and things always seemed to freeze or plug. I've been very happy
with our new ISCO samplers. There's nothing that can freeze or plug
up in the controller and the programming is simple. I love the one
button start up.

Business Comments:
Our city clerk got Justin's name on the internet.
Justin setup and calibrated our Badger meter when we got a new Metering
manhole for our wastewater lagoon site summer of 2006. He seemed
to know what he was doing. Everything is working fine still.

Albert City, Iowa WWTP
Business Comments:
The city of Albert City has done business with the Harry Ferris
Company since May of 2005. Justin Meader has been our sales/technical
rep. and is very easy to talk to. Justin answers questions in a
timely manner, is very professional and will come to our site to
assist with our needs.
Equipment Comments:
Before we bought our ISCO, the city was using an old composite sampler
that did not work well at all. There was not a vendor near to us
that sold parts for it. The new ISCO sampler is very easy to use
and I am able to set it to begin sampling when ever needed. The
sample pump tube is very easy to change with thumb screws on the
pump cover.
January of 2007 we purchased an ISCO 3010 ultrasonic flow transmitter.
Justin came to program and calibrate it when it arrived.
Calibration Service Comments:
Justin Meader comes periodically to check how the equipment is working.
He came within three days to calibrate the new ultrasonic meter.
The ISCO flow meter is very easy to set up and use. I would recommend
the Harry Ferris Company to anyone needing flow metering or sampling
equipment.
