To insure continuing quality and safety in our communities’ water supply, the Buffalo Water Authority has made the following improvements to our system in 2005
· South Basin Sluice Gates Operators rehabilitated.
· Optimization of filter-aid, with PACl 50: Enhancing filtration and reducing cost.
· Metering program. Metering will encourage water conservation and curtail unaccounted water.
· Leak Detection: To reduce non-revenue water usage and optimize water treatment and pumpage.
· Security cameras at all water tanks and remote pump stations.
· SCADA (system monitoring and control) upgrade at the Col. Ward Pump Station, which allows for monitoring and remote control of all water tanks and remote pump stations.
· Peristaltic feed pumps replaced diaphragm pumps at Treatment Plant: optimizing chemical addition and eliminating wasteful siphoning.
