Project Name: Distribution System Telemetry Improvements

The water distribution system is operated with a telemetry system that signals real-time pressure readings at critical nodes in the water distribution system as well as water levels in remote water storage tanks to allow for effective operation, assessment, and control of the system.  These signals are relayed to the centralized water delivery control center at the Hemphill Water Treatment Plant. 
 
The City regularly reviews and updates the telemetry network as required to ensure optimal water distribution system coverage. 
  
The scope of this project includes: 
Installing telemetry transmitters at various locations throughout the water distribution network 
 
Justification: 

• Ensures adequate monitoring and assessment of the water distribution system 
• Optimizes distribution system operations and minimizes system issues  
• Improves the telemetry network for operational optimization and more timely maintenance 
• Reduces corrective and emergency maintenance expenditures
