(612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER FISCAL IMPACT: SCADA.DOC ': Based on the Council action at the October 6, 1997 meeting plans and specifications for the water SCADA system have been prepared. Plans are available through the City's consultant engineer (Bonestroo). Councilmembers interested in reviewing these plans should contact the City Engineer to arrange a review. The new SCADA system will monitor the operation of, and connect all of the City's key water distribution facilities via radio to a main computer control center at the maintenance center. These facilities include 3 well houses, two water towers, and the Wilds booster station. The current system is dependent upon the phone system which is subject to interuption. The current main control center is located within wellhouse #3 which requires personnel to go to this location to check and monitor the water system. The current controls have been corroded by the chemical environment in the wellhouse and have been rendered unreliable. ISSUES Equipment lead time requires this contract be let now and awarded as soon as possible in order to be installed upon the completion of wellhouse #3. A sanitary sewer SCADA system is currently programmed in the 1999 C.I.P. (Capital Improvement Program). Both SCADA systems will be monitored and controlled from the same main computer at the maintenance center. The main computer will be acquired now with the water system SCADA system. CONCLUSION The current SCADA system is unreliable and requires replacement in conjunction with the reconstruction of well house #3. Replacement of the water distribution system SCADA system was approved at the October 6, 1997 Council meeting.
