Council approves Ziply Fiber contract to boost SCADA connectivity at water plant
Summary
As part of the consent agenda, council approved a three-year contract with Ziply Fiber for a dedicated 100 mb/s line at $650/month to improve SCADA remote access and future monitoring capability for the Water Treatment Plant.
The council approved, via the consent agenda, a contract with Ziply Fiber to provide a dedicated 100 megabit-per-second line for the Water Treatment Plant's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The contract calls for $650 per month for a dedicated 100 mb/s line under a three-year agreement.
Meeting materials said the SCADA connection currently runs at 10 mb/s up and down and that the city has experienced slow connections and intermittent disconnections when multiple operators access the system remotely. The increased bandwidth was described as intended to improve remote operations and to support future monitoring upgrades for pump stations and the river intake structure.
