At MSD, while still early in its deployment, benefits of the system have already been demonstrated. Remote monitoring has improved the maintenance of wet weather facilities and remote control of facilities enables quicker response to extreme events. At the end of 2016, MSDGC quantified that these new capabilities provided by the dedicated wet weather SCADA reduced overflows from the collection...
