Ever increasing budget constraints and regulation pressures are forcing many organizations to look for ever more efficient ways of operating their water and wastewater systems. Over the past few decades, many facilities have incorporated Instrumentation & Control Systems (I&C) into their operations, or SCADA systems for collection/distribution systems. These automation efforts, combined with more advanced equipment, have resulted in a smaller, more technically focused work force. But as budgets are tightened even more, the opportunities to squeeze more efficiency from our organizations becomes ever more complex. In addition to automation, the information systems used in our facilities have evolved and improved over the past 20 years. From main frame systems, to client/server networked applications, to web-based and even remotely served programs, information systems have changed greatly. This is both a financial burden, and a blessing in disguise, for most organizations. The financial burden comes in the form of replacing these information applications, and sometimes the hardware infrastructure on which it operates. These applications range from the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) of a plant, to the entire financial suite of applications for a municipality (commonly called Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP, systems). Many organizations have retained their older applications to avoid the high costs of platform replacement and data translation. However, the newer technologies offer many advantages. This, and the demise of older main frame architecture, present organizations with the opportunity to integrate their systems for increased performance. The paper presents a case study where the design of the Hill Canyon Wastewater Treatment Plant in Thousand Oaks, California included an updated distributed control system, using Rockwell's RSView Human Machine Interface (HMI) software. Plant staff also requested electronic delivery of facility documentation, including record drawings, O&M text, and vendor provided manual for equipment O&M. This electronic delivery is part of CH2M HILL's typical Facility Information Management (FIM) services. As the multi-phased project progressed, plant staff expressed a desire to replace their existing Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) with one that would succeed, where the previous 3 systems had failed. CH2M HILL proposed an innovative project task to integrate the HMI with both the FIM and CMMS information. The purpose of this integration is to streamline access to the various information resources, making operators and maintenance staff more efficient. Includes figures.
