This slide presentation outlines an effort to improve water system operations using a comprehensive performance evaluation methodology. The statement of problem includes: Well 2 reclassified as groundwater under the influence of surface water;
Treatment Plant was modified to meet Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR);
Issues with turbidity monitoring and reporting; supervisory control and data aquisition
(SCADA) software "bug" resulting in reporting error for CT and chlorine residual; and,
