BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Village’s sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 40 miles of sanitary sewer main, 1,042 manholes and eight lift stations. The Village maintains separate Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for its water production and distribution system and sanitary sewer system. These systems provide real-time monitoring, control pump operations, track system performance and waste water levels and provide alerts during unusual or emergency conditions, allowing staff to respond promptly to operational issues.
The SCADA system serving the Village’s eight sanitary sewer lift stations is particularly important for monitoring waste water levels, controlling pump operations and providing critical alarms. The existing hardware was installed more than ten years ago and several components have reached or are approaching the end of their useful life. Continued reliance on aging and obsolete components creates increasing concerns related to system reliability, operational continuity, equipment support and cybersecurity.
