Information & Data

Over the years, OCWA has developed and continually upgraded data systems to support the operation, maintenance and management of water, wastewater and stormwater systems. 

• Process Data Management (PDM) for regulatory compliance and reporting
• OCWA’s Outpost Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for remote monitoring, alarming and trending
• Work Management System (WMS) for asset maintenance and capital
• Electronic logbooks and mobile applications for compliance continuity and remote response

The sophistication and value of such tools offers our clients extensive support and critical data for compliance, asset planning, rate-setting, and long-term budgeting. OCWA has been progressively utilizing and enhancing leading edge and innovative technologies. These investments through the years have resulted in lower operating costs, more assurance of fully compliant operations and the long-term protection of our partners’ system assets. OCWA takes cyber security very seriously, utilizing third-party audits to assess and mitigate potential vulnerabilities, and putting in place stringent security protocols to protect the Agency’s network, data centre assets, and operational and other data.
