WATER & WASTEWATER

Automation For Water Systems That Cannot Stop

Water and wastewater operations run continuously.

Treatment processes, pumps, lift stations, reservoirs, instrumentation, power systems, and remote facilities all have to work together while operators maintain visibility across the entire system.

Systems Interface designs, integrates, modernizes, and supports automation and SCADA systems for water and wastewater facilities, helping municipalities and utilities maintain reliable operations while preparing their infrastructure for what comes next.

With more than 40 years of industrial automation experience and over 125 years of combined water and wastewater experience across the team, SII brings practical engineering knowledge to systems communities depend on every day.

Visibility Across The Entire Operation

Operators need to know what is happening throughout the system, including assets they cannot physically see.

A treatment facility may need to coordinate process equipment within the plant while monitoring lift stations, reservoirs, pumps, wells, and other assets spread across a large service area.

Systems Interface develops SCADA and control systems that bring those operations together.

That can include plant-wide controls, remote telemetry, alarm management, process instrumentation, historical data, and operator interfaces that provide the information needed to understand system conditions and respond when something changes.

Water and wastewater automation system

From Treatment Process To Distribution

Water and wastewater automation extends far beyond turning pumps on and off.

SII's documented experience includes automation and controls for:

Primary And Secondary Treatment

Sedimentation

Tertiary Treatment And Filtration

Coagulation

Chemical Feed

UV Disinfection

Lift Stations And Wet Wells

Pump Sequencing

Tank Farms And Storage Reservoirs

Flow And Pressure Monitoring

Water Distribution

Gas Detection

Generator And Transfer Switch Monitoring

Remote Facilities And Telemetry Systems

Each part of the operation creates different control requirements, but all depend on reliable information and predictable system behavior.

Modernizing Critical Systems Without Losing Control

Many water and wastewater facilities are operating equipment from multiple generations.

Older PLCs may still control critical processes. SCADA platforms may have been expanded repeatedly over the years. Remote sites may use different communications technologies. Some equipment may be approaching obsolescence while other parts of the system still have years of useful life remaining.

Systems Interface helps utilities evaluate those environments and develop practical modernization strategies.

That can include PLC migrations, SCADA upgrades, phased control system replacements, network improvements, and integration of existing equipment into modern control architectures.

The objective is to create a system that is more reliable and maintainable without losing sight of the infrastructure that has to remain operational throughout the transition.

Related Water & Wastewater Projects

SII's water and wastewater experience includes municipal, tribal, remote, and private water systems with very different operational requirements.

Remote Water Infrastructure, Emmonak, Alaska

Providing dependable water in remote Alaska creates challenges that extend beyond traditional control system design.

Systems Interface implemented a remote automation solution in Emmonak designed to improve system visibility, strengthen reliability, and support efficient water delivery in an extreme operating environment.

Chehalis Tribal Utilities SCADA Expansion & Water System Modernization

Systems Interface supported a major SCADA expansion and modernization of water treatment and distribution infrastructure for Chehalis Tribal Utilities.

The project replaced outdated technology with a modern, scalable control platform designed to improve system monitoring, remote visibility, reliability, and troubleshooting while supporting dependable water service for the community.

Private Water Treatment & Remote Monitoring

Systems Interface designed and integrated a private well water treatment and remote monitoring system incorporating multi-stage filtration and UV disinfection.

The system continuously monitors well levels and pH, uses a hardwired alarm dialer for critical conditions, and provides secure cellular connectivity for remote monitoring and troubleshooting.

Designed For The People Running The System

A technically sophisticated control system is only useful if the people responsible for the facility can operate and maintain it.

That is particularly important for utilities facing limited technical resources, distributed infrastructure, aging equipment, and systems that have grown over decades.

Systems Interface emphasizes standardized, intuitive, and maintainable control systems that give operators useful information without unnecessary complexity.

Clear diagnostics, alarm management, remote visibility, and consistent system architecture help teams identify problems faster and support the system over its operating life.

Support When The System Needs It

Water and wastewater infrastructure does not stop being critical when a project is commissioned.

Systems Interface provides ongoing engineering support through remote diagnostics, on-site field service, troubleshooting, system modifications, upgrades, and expansion support.

For critical issues, SII also provides rapid-response troubleshooting intended to help diagnose problems, restore safe operation, and minimize downtime.
