Series is the computer program used to monitor certain wells within the well fields. The system is a distributed control system that allows the well system to be monitored according to set parameters. System contains information on flows, points, status, communications and other parameters needed to monitor the well fields. System includes analog (values such as levels) and digital (discrete status such as on/off/alarm) information. Records are used as part of the data acquisition process.

Record Copy? Yes

RETENTION: 10 years. Destruction of material is subject to review and approval of the City Attorney.

Series is used to document communications between the various water system sites and the control center. Record includes date, site, and communications status (errors, type of error, operational percentage, etc.).

Record Copy? Yes

RETENTION: 13 months

Series is used to record daily alarms or events in water system. Series is created to determine sequence of events. Records is the computer printout of what happened and when. Record includes pumps turned on, alarms, intrusions, etc. Record contains date, time, point associated and short description.

Record Copy? Yes

RETENTION: 13 months

Series is used to document status on the operation of the water system. Series is used to analyze the water system and capture information from the Water Control Computer Systems. Records are reports that include date, status, type of operation, hourly averages, etc. Examples of reports include pump availability, instrumentation reports, call out reports, pump run time, etc.

Series is the computer program used to operate the water system. SCADA is a distributed control system that allows the system to run remotely according to set parameters. System contains information on flows, points, status, communications and other parameters needed to run the water system. System includes analog (values such as levels) and digital (discrete status such as on/off/alarm) information.

Record Copy? Yes

RETENTION: 10 years- tape back up. Destruction of material is subject to review and approval of the City Attorney. Information is kept online for 13 months.

Series is used to analyze system for future growth annexations and operational problems. Series is used to support engineers in planning design and project implementation. Records consist of analysis, reports, memos, correspondence, computer printouts, network models, maps, work records, testing results, findings, work orders, etc. Records include network analysis, hydrant flow and other flow tests.

Record Copy? No
Where? Requester

RETENTION: Retain as needed

Series is created to run simulated tests on the water system. Series is used to support planning and analysis. Records are the computer models developed for planning design and operational problems.

Record Copy? Yes

RETENTION: Until superseded

Series is created to record forecast information that is gathered to help determine supply status and water demand. Records include weather forecasts, contracts with forecast services, graphs, reports, memos, etc. Examples include hydrologic flows, reservoir data, watershed stations, river data, climatological data and other similar records.
