Star Valley Ranch advances water upgrades: Neptune meters arriving March, SCADA tests planned
Summary
Town staff reported Neptune meter deliveries beginning March 1 with 250 meters in the first batch, SCADA system testing scheduled for 4:00 p.m., and replacement orders for incorrectly sized large flow‑meters; staff warned that insufficient internet at Public Works may be causing SCADA crashes.
Town Administrator Aitken reported that the Neptune residential meter bid has been signed and submitted; the first batch of 250 meters is expected to arrive on March 1, with additional monthly shipments until all meters are installed. He said software installation and staff training are pending.
Aitken also updated the council on SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) testing: a system test was scheduled for 4:00 p.m. and staff have been able to operate pumps through the interface during trials. He said the Public Works facility currently has insufficient internet connectivity, which may be contributing to system crashes; the town is consulting Silver Star about increasing bandwidth and is considering a Starlink account as a backup.
Regarding larger meters, Aitken said large flow‑meters have arrived but two units had measurement errors. Staff ordered two 8‑inch meters to replace incorrectly sized 10‑ and 12‑inch meters. The Water Utility Board met Dec. 16 and will continue to monitor meter installs and system updates at its next meeting on Jan. 20.
