This article discusses the supervisory control system of the Waterford Township groundwater supply. Land developers had built 12 different hydrapneumatic water systems in Oakland County, Michigan. Waterford Township officials decided to consolidate these 12 separate water systems into one complete integrated water system, which was incorporated into the master plan for water supply in 1960. It was decided to manage the system with supervisory control, and equipment was installed to control thirteen pump stations, nine distribution pressure points, three storage tanks, and altitude valve chambers with a control panel and desk.
