Town officials say SCADA system at Hampton plant is outmoded and needs upgrading
Summary
Public Works said the plant's SCADA control system has run since the 1990s and will become incompatible with modern computers, making an upgrade necessary to support existing and new equipment.
Presenter explained the plant is controlled by a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) program that allows operators to monitor and control pumps, motors, valves and tanks remotely. "The SCADA system at the Hampton Wastewater Treatment Plant has been running since the 1990s and will soon be incompatible with today's computers," the presenter said.
Staff said an upgrade is needed to continue operating existing equipment and to allow future new equipment to be integrated and controlled remotely. The transcript does not include vendor options, estimated costs, or a procurement timeline; those specifics are expected to be part of the funding and planning process tied to the March warrant article.
