DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division oversees and maintains the daily operations of the City's water and sanitary sewer systems. The water system is composed of approximately 480 miles of water main, 21 groundwater wells, seven pump stations, 10 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 49 million gallons, four pressure regulating stations, and seven connection points to the Metropolitan Water District. The system has an average daily demand of 30 million gallons from its, roughly, 45,000 service connections. Control and monitoring of the water system is coordinated with the City's Supervised Control and Data Acquisition system. The Water Resources Division utilizes numerous industrial control panels (i.e., motor control centers, remote terminal units, switchboards, and programmable logic computers) to control the various mechanical components of the water and sewer system (i.e., variable frequency drives, motor operated vales, magnetic flowmeters, and radio and communication equipment). As a result, the design, construction, and quality assurance testing of industrial control panels provided by certified contractors are crucial to the successful operation of the City's sewer lift stations, water well sites, water pumping stations, and pressure control stations.
