Water Treatment Plant SCADA Modernization

Overview

Rancho Murieta Community Services District partnered with AIC to modernize its water treatment plant SCADA system through replacement of legacy servers, updated software, and new network infrastructure. The work was performed while the plant remained in operation, requiring careful implementation to modernize the system without interrupting the water treatment process.

Challenge

  • Replace aging SCADA servers and supporting infrastructure.
  • Update existing SCADA software and operating systems.
  • Maintain continuous water treatment operations.
  • Improve long-term system reliability and maintainability.

Solution

  • Replaced three SCADA servers and supporting hardware.
  • Updated FactoryTalk View SE and associated SCADA software.
  • Installed and configured new network and security infrastructure.
  • Implemented redundant SCADA architecture.
  • Completed configuration, testing, and system validation while the plant remained operational.

Results

  • Modernized SCADA server infrastructure.
  • Improved system reliability and redundancy.
  • Updated the plant's SCADA software environment.
  • Improved long-term maintainability.
  • Completed the upgrade without interrupting plant operations.

The original RCMSD scope specifically called for replacement of three SCADA servers, current software versions, installation/configuration/testing, and required the work to occur with no interruptions to the water plant process.
