The Digital Reliability Network is also used to monitor the status of utility assets, including traffic signals, water pressure valves, water towers, water treatment plants and sanitary sewer treatment plants.
This Resolution will authorize $400,000 to be spent in 2021 on providing redundant fiber optic connections to critical facilities, increasing the fiber optic capacity and replacing conduit, fiber optic cables and associated equipment and software that are beyond their useful life.
