Upgrades being made at various water production sites throughout county.
The existing SCADA system, which was installed in the early 1990s, is being replaced, as it is proprietary and at the end of its service life. Many of the components are no longer supported and cannot be repaired or replaced. The new system will be developed with open architecture software which does not require a proprietary service provider. The communication system will be replaced with a fiber optic network and more than 40 remote sites will be equipped with new radio terminal units and a new master server will be installed. The project will be funded by a Drinking Water State Revolving Loan (DWSRL).
