The challenge
Goldsby’s aging SCADA system was running on a Windows 98 computer with no secure remote access. Their 9 wells operate in groups, requiring an easy way to start and stop wells together. They also faced a persistent problem: the clearwell would overflow because the treatment plant continued draining water into it after shutoff, sending thousands of gallons into a drainage ditch.
The solution
D6 Labs deployed a complete system upgrade covering all 9 wells, the water treatment plant, two booster stations, and two towers. We built intelligent logic that detects when the clearwell is at risk of overflow and automatically pumps excess water into whichever tower has capacity, rather than losing it. Wells can now be easily grouped and controlled together through the Whisker.io platform.
The results
- 100,000+ gallons saved in the first year from eliminated overflow
- Secure remote access to monitor and control from any phone
- Simplified operations with well grouping and one-touch control
- 40% lower cost than competing bids
We went from an old Windows 98 system to being able to monitor and control everything from our phones. The intelligence built into the system has already saved us over 100,000 gallons of water.
