wastewater control systems

The wastewater control systems tag covers discussions about software and hardware used to manage municipal wastewater treatment plants, with a focus on Windows-based control systems. A recent thread highlights a village board's decision to avoid a costly software upgrade by running existing control software on a new Windows 10 computer. This case illustrates the tension between cost-saving measures and the security implications of using an older operating system for critical infrastructure. Topics include SCADA systems, lifecycle management, and the challenges of maintaining legacy control software in public works environments.
