• Comprehensive Instrumentation and Control Plan with recommendations for upgrades and enhancements to hardware, software, and communication protocols. • Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) document(s) to be used by staff for development, integration, and maintenance of SCADA assets.
• Disaster recovery plan.
(3) Coordination of:
• SCADA integration with DWP’s long-time SCADA integrator or a new vendor depending on the outcome of the plan.
• Staff training on SCADA SOPs.
After completion of the SCADA Master Plan, staff will work with a SCADA integrator to complete the recommended improvements and implementation of any modernized equipment and/or communication methods. During and after this implementation phase, DWP staff will be trained on SOPs, change management, and hardware and software. This Master Plan will also include the installation of backup power for all SCADA equipment. This includes the installation of 24vdc solar power and battery backup systems for all DWP sites which utilize SCADA. The final component of the project will be Site Security Enhancements. This includes the installation of cameras at all sites, to allow for remote monitoring and bolster physical security at all sites. Project costs are estimated to be $1,466,000. This is based on quotations from previous requests for SCADA upgrades from DWP’s SCADA integrator. This also assumes that the cost to prepare the SCADA Master Plan will be approximately 5% of the cost of upgrades. DWP’s current SCADA is dated, and within the next five years or so, much of the equipment and communication protocols are expected to become obsolete. Newer and more reliable technology will greatly increase DWP staff’s monitoring throughout the system. Furthermore, increased education and training will allow staff to better understand the operation of the SCADA infrastructure and become better equipped to diagnose and resolve issues.
The other application included the Emergency Generator Fleet Replacement Program. DWP’s current oldest emergency generators in the fleet are over 30 years old, and there is concern about the reliability of the generators due to aging mechanical and electrical components, as well as exposure to extreme weather (snow/ice). The Replacement Program proposes to replace all four (4) generators in the current fleet with four 120kW generators, as well as the procurement of one (1) 336kW generator that will be positioned at the Division Solar Field. The proposed Replacement Program is much in line with the DWP’s current Capital Machinery and Equipment Plan (CME), as well as the Backup Electrical Generation Contingency Plan that was prepared by staff in March 2025.
The Replacement Program proposes one additional 120kW generator beyond what is currently identified in the CME. This is to increase operational flexibility during a long-term power outage.
The Bear Valley is subject to frequent, sometimes extended power outages. Deployment of emergency generators throughout the system during an extended outage, as well as the ability to power all Division Wells at once using a single generator, will ensure that customers receive the highest level of service possible. This program includes the required electrical improvements at the Division Solar Field to allow for the 336kW generator to power all sites. This also includes the modification of the Conklin Booster station to be able to receive backup generator power; the Conklin Booster Station serves as an important backup to the Knickerbocker Booster Station, which provides constant pressure to a couple hundred homes in the Town Zone. The estimated total cost of the proposed Replacement Program is $788,000.
General Manager’s Report
August 25, 2026
DWP’s match for the SCADA Master Plan and Implementation Project would be funded through DWP’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget from future water revenues estimated to be $366,500. For the Emergency Generator Fleet Replacement Program, DWP’s 25% match would be funded through DWP’s Capital Machinery and Equipment Plan from future water revenues estimated to be $191,000 if awarded. EPA notified DWP that the Emergency Generator Fleet Replacement Program was not selected for grant funding. DWP staff has requested a debriefing of the grant review process of this application. The SCADA Master Plan and Implementation Program grant application is still pending.
DWP staff submitted our FY 2026 Community Project Funding request to Jay Obernolte’s office on April 10, 2025. On July 1, staff was made aware that the Garstin Water Operations Facilities Project was included in the funding request for $1,500,000 for Fiscal Year 2026.
FY27 Community Project Funding Request (No Change)
Congressman Obernolte’s office notified us that they are accepting applications for FY27 Community Project Funding. Staff worked with Congressman Obernolte’s office and the City, and submitted an application for additional funding for the Garstin Project for the FY27 funding cycle on March 11, 2026. On March 19, 2026, Congressman Obernolte’s staff asked a couple of clarification questions, then forwarded our application to the Congressman. On March 19, 2026 Congressman Obernolte recommended funding $2,000,000 for the Garstin Water Operations Facility. Typically, Congress appropriates funds for Congressmen requests during November or December.
Technical Review Team (TRT) Committee (No Change):
On June 23, 2026, the Technical Review Team Committee met to review and discuss the Bear Valley Basin water resources. The TRT Committee consisted of CSD and DWP Board Members John Russo, Bob Tarras, and Matt Scriven, CSD and DWP General Managers Glenn Jacklin and Reggie Lamson, CSD and DWP Water Superintendents Jerry Griffith and Jason Hall, DWP Chief Financial Officer Nathan Statham, DWP Production Supervisor Ben Berge, DWP Water Conservation & Communications Supervisor, Bennett Rossell, DWP District Engineer, Daniel Baguyo and Tom Harder, Hydrogeologist with Thomas Harder & Co. Ground Water Consulting.
The TRT Committee reviewed and discussed well water hydrographs, groundwater production history, and annual precipitation records. The theme of the review was that the Bear Valley Basin groundwater levels are stable, and the slant wells and spring boxes are running well throughout the Valley.
The Committee recommended continuing with existing water conservation practices and enforcing no outdoor watering during the July 4th weekend.
