The City uses a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor and control the Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) and associated lift stations. The SCADA system consists of multiple hardware and software components designed to work together to collect, process, and maintain data to support equipment operation in real-time. The SCADA system and the data it collects are critical to supporting operations and regulatory reporting functions. The City’s SCADA Master Plan focuses on upgrade and replacement needs for all hardware and software components. Server and network upgrades are anticipated to address several issues and concerns that negatively impact the SCADA system’s short-term reliability and long-term usefulness, including communication infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life, technical obsolescence of hardware and software components, and system maintainability.

This project includes replacing the existing SCADA servers, upgrading the interface and alarm system software, replacing the existing fiber optic cabling, and upgrading the instrument and pump station networks.
