A key to optimizing water district operations is to monitor key parameters such as tank levels, pressures, temperatures and functions such as pump control. Before 2007, Parker (Colo.) Water and Sanitation District had a communication system that monitored critical data, but in a cumbersome manner with limited integration of technologies.
When technological advances led the water district to replace its programmable logic controllers (PLCs), it also looked for a more efficient communication solution. This district selected and installed a SCADA-integrated network of wireless data radios that has enhanced reliability, improved performance and saved time.Pursuing quality
