Compliance and Operations Monitoring System for Water Infrastructure

The overall scope of the Compliance and Operations Monitoring System (COPS) project is to introduce a new system to 3 Waters to allow better monitoring and reporting from the point of taking water through to discharge from our wastewater treatment plants. This system will also enable us to better monitor, manage and improve our compliance and resource consents requirements.

We need a data agnostic system that can pull data from various SCADA systems, SQL, Eurofins, S:Can units and manually as required, to be stored in a central location. The system needs to be adaptable and able to integrate with new assets and systems as required.

The data needs to be available as soon as possible via dashboarding and/or reporting and be able to trigger alerts to users if data points are outside of set parameters. The medium of the alert will be based on the priority of the alert. The system would ideally be well supported to adapt to changes to compliance and operational requirements given the progression of 3 Waters reform.

The system would also be able to manage the consenting and regulatory compliance processes. To meet these requirements, we need to be able to schedule consent submissions and allocate these to a responsible person. The system will need to be able to schedule consent action points and escalate if no actions have been taken by a date prior to the deadline.
