Board reviews SCADA/computer upgrade for pump house; vendor estimate to be circulated
Summary
The Chair reported a vendor quote for a SCADA/pump-house computer upgrade (about $19,000 from Avantag) and said he would forward the proposal to trustees. Trustees discussed reporting gaps in the existing system and potential cybersecurity benefits from the upgrade.
During the workshop the Chair told trustees the pump-house SCADA system has reporting gaps and requires replacement. "We should have the 20,000 we need to upgrade the computer, which we got a price from Avantag," the Chair said, adding that the vendor proposal will be forwarded to trustees for review.
Trustees raised concerns about downtime and reporting holes in the current system; the chair said the vendor would build and install the upgrade and that staff should verify the cybersecurity features. The Chair asked Richard (a participant who had reviewed the materials) to confirm the update addressed cybersecurity and reporting issues before the board moves forward. The item will be revisited at the regular meeting after trustees have reviewed the vendor estimate.
