DRWP AUTOMATION UPGRADE

DRWP AUTOMATION UPGRADE

CIP# 690567-100000

This project at the Dublin Road Water Plant (DRWP) is a critical component in the City’s potable water supply system. The purpose of this project is to upgrade hardware and software for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) operating system. The current system is approaching the end of its service life and is in need of an upgrade. 

Implementation is slated to start mid-2024 and is expected to be completed by mid-2026.  

This project is not expected to have any adverse environmental impacts since the construction will occur within the existing Dublin Road Water Plant footprint (project area(PDF, 631KB)). The design will include provisions to address environmental issues consistent with the City’s Environmental Management System (EMS) and local, state, and federal requirements.  

Financing for this project is being provided through a below market-rate loan through OEPA’s Water Supply revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) Program.  Prior to granting this loan, contract documents were submitted to Ohio EPA by the Division of Water to determine the project’s eligibility for the program. 

If you have any questions concerning this project, please contact the City Project Manager, Stephen Kinsley, P.E., in the Technical Support Section 614-645-7100 and srkinsley@columbus.gov.
