Operations and Maintenance

New Generator

We have successfully installed a new generator at the water treatment plant as part of our ongoing maintenance efforts. This upgrade will enhance our operational efficiency and ensure reliable service.

Mobile Power Connection

Due to the extended power outages in 2024, we installed the first two mobile power-generating docking stations at our pump stations within our distribution system. This initiative lets us quickly connect a mobile generator to the pump stations to supply power during a power outage. These mobile power generators keep pump stations operational to provide water to parts of our system. Further, these mobile power generator connections enhance our distribution system’s resiliency and redundancy in delivering water to you.

What is SCADA?

Supervisory Control and Data Aquisition

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

In 2024, Consolidated added a SCADA Systems Specialist within the Operations and Maintenance team. The Specialist’s strategic role aims to modernize aging infrastructure, enhance cybersecurity measures, and ensure the utmost reliability of our systems.

By welcoming an expert, Consolidated has reduced reliance on costly external consultants and preserved crucial internal expertise. The Specialist is instrumental in evaluating the current SCADA framework, identifying essential upgrades, and developing a resilient, forward-looking system.

Our proactive initiative greatly enhances Consolidated’s operational analysis, boosting efficiency and reinforcing our steadfast commitment to innovation and long-term sustainability.
