Board approves $31,741 IP surveillance system and $245/month monitoring at filtration plant after trespass incident
Summary
Bridal Caudill, the water filtration plant superintendent, told the board cameras were failing after a trespass in June; the board approved a $31,741.42 installation and a $245 monthly monitoring fee to expand and replace aging cameras and enable central monitoring.
The Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Board approved an IP surveillance system for the city’s water filtration plant at its Sept. 3 meeting.
Bridal Caudill, who introduced herself to the board as the water filtration plant superintendent, said a June trespass incident prompted a review of security and revealed multiple cameras with signal loss, blurred views and obsolescence. She recommended replacing the failing cameras and adding four new units to increase the system from 17 to 26 cameras. Caudill said the system would be monitored from a locked central location at the plant and could be accessed remotely by authorized staff via the plant network and VPN.
Caudill presented a proposal with an installation cost of $31,741.42 and a $245-per-month monitoring fee. Board members asked about monitoring procedures; Caudill said operators have access through the plant control. The board approved the proposal by voice vote.
