Background/Discussion
The City’s Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) uses a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor operations at the plant and pump stations. The existing system is antiquated and maintenance is difficult because of the obsolete hardware and unsupported software. The scope of this initial phase is to upgrade the facilities at the WPCP so that data can be reliably gathered, communicated, and monitored within the plant.
An onsite assessment was completed by the consultant and identified two efforts: Immediate needs within the plant; and SCADA procurement and implementation. Immediate needs have been addressed within the WPCP operation budget. The project scope includes new hardware, software and communication equipment at the WPCP.
After a successful deployment, the intent is to expand the system to integrate communications with the existing sanitary sewer pump stations located throughout the collection system. Until the second project is accomplished, the new SCADA will need to work with the old system until the second phase of implementation can be accomplished.
This project was included in the FY17 CIP and is funded with Sales Tax Funds. The project has a revised budget of $550,000.
