The City of Hot Springs, Arkansas is a wonderful place to live or visit: fantastic lakes, great fishing, miles of beautiful tree-studded rugged terrain for outdoor enthusiasts, horse racing, a thriving arts community, and of course its famous thermal spas.
Last week, it hosted the U.S. Mint’s unveiling of the first coin in its new America the Beautiful Quarters Program, celebrating 56 national parks in each of our states and territories. Hot Springs National Park was established 178 years ago on April 20, 1832, the first such park in our nation.
But, did you know that this week marks another anniversary for Hot Springs? Okay, it’s not nearly as glamorous as launching a commemorative coin series, but it’s been one year since the City completed the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) Upgrade, designed by Brown Engineers, for its Ouachita Water Treatment Plant.
This project marks the city’s first step in its Master SCADA Plan, also developed by Brown Engineers. The master plan provides for a comprehensive, phased series of improvements to modernize its SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) water and sewer control systems.
Plant operators can now navigate to desired SCADA control systems in just 2 clicks!
We congratulate Hot Springs for its rich heritage, vibrant culture–and commitment to providing its citizens reliable and safe delivery of city water services. You can read more about Hot Springs’ Ouachita Water Treatment Plant HMI Upgrade on our Case Studies page.
