Public Works reports SCADA communication problems; board approves monitoring and a valve purchase

Village of Roberts Village Board · June 8, 2026

Summary

Public Works staff reported SCADA communication failures that are forcing manual operation of some wastewater processes and recommended purchasing an air-actuating valve (quoted bid $5,800). Trustees acknowledged the report and approved the recommended next steps.

Public Works staff described operational problems that have left village crews monitoring systems manually while SCADA communications are repaired. Chris Holmes told the board a replacement air-actuating valve is available with a bid of about $5,800 and that crews must frequently check valves to keep the system running.

Trustee Jeff Vogt said, "If it’s broke fix it," and trustees agreed to acknowledge the Public Works report and move forward with the procurement and monitoring plan. Holmes also said he is working to obtain a spray bar for the village utility vehicle so the department can resume field spraying work more safely and efficiently.
