This article discusses a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system installed by Oklahoma City Water and Wastewater Utilities. This system will collect data continuously from each panel, allowing comprehensive network surveillance 24/7 at a central location. The real‐time network data will signal and predict where and when remedial action is needed so that personnel can focus the utility's resources efficiently. Also, the utility expects that full‐time surveillance will yield significant security benefits.
