This powerpoint presentation begins by providing background information and system characteristics for the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Issues and opportunities for sustainable water management included: balancing water supply and demand; meeting water quality commitments; reliability of aging infrastructure; rising cost of construction, energy, and chemicals; Sustainable Region Initiative; O&M Strategic Business Plan; knowledge retention and succession planning; and, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) Master Station replacement. Operations optimization included a structured program of changes in organization, work process and technology to: continually meet customer service levels; continually meet water quality commitments; minimize labor, energy, chemical and material costs; and, respond quickly and effectively to events and emergency conditions as they occur. The vision for optimization included: centralizing water supply operations decision making through daily system planning and scheduling; train and empower knowledgeable operators; use advanced technologies to meet multiple operational performance criteria throughout the system; and, use more automated control.
