WIMS

Water and Wastewater Management System

WIMS is a multifunctional database that helps facilitate data requests and reporting to environmental agencies. Through the use of a dashboard a plant operator can view KPIs and other data being imported into the database. At SJCUD we currently have 9 wastewater plants and 6 water plants actively using and reporting through the Hach WIMS software.


Compliance and Process Control

  • Provides a single database to analyze, create, and manage water quality
  • Customizable reporting to enhance DMR and MOR submission
  • Eliminates multiple data source errors (Ex. spreadsheets, formulas...hard copy)
  • Gives plant operators value in their day to day functions

LIMS/Lab Integration

  • Autoscribe ODBC Driver to read analyte codes within WIMS
  • Lab results are available directly after the technician certifies the result
  • Eliminates the probability of lost/late sample recording
  • Helps operators modify the plant process throughout the month

SCADA Integration

  • Trihedral ODBC Driver
  • Used primarily for reading data at a specific time each day
  • Built-in functions for analyzing your SCADA readings (Ex. total, average...max)
  • Allows comparison between instrument and field collected data
  • Future uses: pump readings, and real time analysis

In the Works

  • Implement Claros Collect for mobile data collection
  • Add Hastings WTP to complete all treatment plants
  • Develop utility-wide tools for chemical usage and facility management to identify potential cost savings

Administration

  • Adding new users
  • Customizing entry forms
  • Monthly review with compliance to modify formulas/reports
  • 40% development; 60% customization
