Clarkston says SCADA repair underway; engineering study to scope Meyer Springs restart costs
Summary
Town staff told the council they have engaged a technician to complete repairs to the water SCADA system, the town has only a couple of remaining payments on a prior water-system loan, and Sunrise Engineering will begin scoping costs to bring Meyer Springs back online.
Clarkston — Town staff reported progress on the municipal water system at the April 1 council meeting, saying a new technician will complete work on the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system and that the town is nearing payoff on a prior upgrade loan.
Mayor Thompson said he and staff met with a technician who "is gonna try and get it fixed," referring to previously incomplete SCADA work. Council members noted that the previous contractor had been in the middle of setting up the system but did not complete work.
A council member also said the town has "only a couple more payments" on the loan taken for the system upgrade. Council discussed moving quickly to get other springs back online and asked Sunrise Engineering to start cost estimates for Meyer Springs to determine how extensive restart work would be.
Next steps: Sunrise Engineering will provide cost estimates and staff will continue work with the technician to finish the SCADA setup and return additional springs to service. No timeline or dollar figures for the Meyer Springs work were specified at the meeting.
