Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What Control systems are commonly used in water and wastewater treatment plants?

Water and wastewater treatment plants commonly use PLC-based control systems such as Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix, GE RX3i, and Siemens S7, along with SCADA platforms like Ignition, FactoryTalk View SE, AVEVA System Platform, and Wonderware. These systems enable centralized control of pumps, blowers, chemical dosing, filtration, and telemetry systems.

What is the difference between IT and OT for the Water Industry?

In many small and underserved municipalities there is overlap between IT and OT. IT (Information Technology) manages business systems, email, and cloud services, while OT (Operational Technology) controls physical processes, machinery, and infrastructure. Atlas OT can help bridge the gap between the IT OT convergence by setting up secure industrial networks to protect PLCs, SCADA and industrial equipment, while pulling necessary data out to IT systems for visibility and reporting.

Can Atlas Operational Technology Water Solutions modernize legacy control systems?

Yes! Many municipalities across America are running on outdated control platforms that are no longer available for support or replacement. Many water districts are still buying obsolete hardware from ebay to keep their facilities operational. Atlas can help you create a migration plan with a phased approach to manage budget and keep facilities online while minimizing downtime.

Does Atlas deploy cybersecurity for water and wastewater facilities?

Critical industries like water treatment facilities must be mindful to implement cyber security best practices. These can include network segmentation, endpoint hardening, secure PLC configuration, and DMZ architecture from day one. We recommend reviewing your security stance against industry standards and deploying phased approach to secure your system without compromising uptime or budget.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) – A comprehensive, risk-based approach to managing cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.

IEC 62443 – International standard specifically developed for securing industrial automation and control systems (IACS).

ISA/IEC 99 – Guidelines for defining zones and conduits and assigning security levels across your architecture.

What is SCADA and why is it important for water utilities?

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems allow water utilities to monitor, control, and analyze equipment and processes in real time. Operators use SCADA dashboards to oversee pumps, chemical feeds, tanks, and valves—locally or remotely. SCADA also supports alarming, trending, reporting, and compliance tracking, essential for modern utility operations.

Telemetry systems provide real-time visibility and control of remote assets like lift stations, reservoirs, and booster stations. Benefits include faster response to faults, reduced manual site visits, improved data logging, and increased safety. Atlas OT integrates telemetry using cellular, radio, fiber, or VPN, with store-and-forward capabilities and secure protocols like MQTT and OPC UA.

Can you assist with EPA compliance and regulatory reporting?

Yes, Atlas OT uses guidance from the EPA and AWWA as well as best practices by NFPA70 to design and implement regulatory reporting for your water treatment facility. This reporting can include automated PDFs, excel file exports, integration to HACH or your other business systems through a SQL connection or other methods.

What areas do you support locally?

Our Colorado based team supports the front range locally with emergency on call support. This includes Denver, Fort Collins, Greeley, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and the Western Slope.

Across the United States we support project based and remote support. In most cases, if your system is accessible remotely or we can log into a local technician computer, we can often isolate issues and help you get your system back online rapidly.
