Council addresses water issues

The Winthrop City Council approved the purchase of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor both the water and sewer plants in the city at a cost of $27,320.

This would allow Troy Martin and Chris Beranek to monitor the systems remotely by laptop, phone or tablet.

The city employees would be able to respond to situations like the previous rainfall in a quicker manner.
