-
Discussions about replacing the plant began in 2004.
-
-
Whenever facilities need to continue servicing the community, there will always be equipment constraints.
-
Since the last major expansion in 1983, there have been many firms of various skill levels installing and retrofitting equipment.
-
The City of Grants Pass required several SCADA and other services for these facilities to remain viable while the new facilities were being built.

Outcome
-
All phases of the project completed without disruption to the community.
-
Projects were delivered on time and on budget.
-
CSNW has become the integrator of choice to provide SCADA and support services.
