Stonington approves remote‑access 'tosi box' for water plant at $5,675
Summary
Superintendent Jake Heberling told trustees a remote access 'tosi box' is needed to meet EPA secure‑login expectations; the board approved a $5,675 purchase including a four‑year maintenance agreement.
Superintendent Jake Heberling asked the board to approve purchase of a "tosi box," a remote access device intended to provide a secure login for the water plant and reduce hacking risk. He described the unit as enabling a remote technician in St. Louis to make program changes and noted travel costs of $185 for on‑site support.
Heberling told the board the total cost was $5,675.00 and includes a four‑year maintenance agreement; he suggested part of the cost might be eligible for TIF funds. He said, "the main purpose of this box if it is installed, then the guy in St. Louis can sit there and make all the program changes to the water plant." Trustee Andrew Callan moved to approve the purchase, Trustee Caleb Grover seconded, and the motion passed 6-0.
