Document Description
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) is proposing to do preliminary design for the installation of pump controls, connection to plant Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and add programming to allow automated monitoring of pump status fro more than 100 sample pumps at all five of Metropolitan's water treatment plants. The equipment, controls and operations will be standardized for all five plants. Metropolitan is also proposing to do preliminary design for the modification of the sample pumps to allow them to automatically restart after recovery from an electrical power outage. This improvement will ensure continuous sample water flow to both on-line instruments and the laboratory for water quality monitoring and continued regulatory compliance, and minimize operator time required to recover from a power outage. The standardization of equipment and controls will improve the efficiency of operations and maintenance.
