The <br />water system is composed of approximately 480 miles of water main, 21 groundwater <br />wells, seven pump stations, 10 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 49 million gallons, <br />four pressure regulating stations, and seven connection points to the Metropolitan <br />Water District. The system has an average daily demand of 30 million gallons from its <br />roughly 45,500 metered service connections. <br />The City's water production facilities are controlled by supervisory control and data <br />acquisition (SCADA) software which is used to monitor the processes involved in water <br />production, storage, and delivery. Coordination between the SCADA system and its <br />control components allows for automation of processes and procedures, reduces <br />energy costs, and is crucial to providing Santa Ana residents with clean, affordable <br />water. Due to the complex nature of the SCADA system and related devices, an <br />experienced consultant is needed to provide detailed control panel drawings, functional <br />specifications, programming and testing specifications, and SCADA systems source <br />control and change control services for the City's water production facilities. <br />
