Gettysburg council authorizes new SCADA system for water plant at about $3,500
Summary
Council authorized staff to obtain a new SCADA system for the village water plant, estimated at $3,500 with an ongoing annual fee of about $720, after reporting that the current system is not sending alarm calls reliably.
Council reviewed a recommendation to upgrade the water-plant SCADA system after staff reported that alarm calls were not being sent reliably under the current setup. The minutes record an estimated one‑time cost of about $3,500 for the new system and an ongoing annual fee of approximately $720.
After discussing the need to restore alarm and call functionality, council directed staff to proceed with purchasing the replacement SCADA system to correct the notification failures. No detailed vendor selection or formal motion text appears in the minutes; council’s instruction was recorded as authorization to move forward.
The upgrade restores automated notifications that alert operators or on‑call staff to plant faults, which officials said is critical to maintaining continuous water service.
