Maintaining safe water and wastewater operations are necessary for public health, which means there must be a constant watch over operations. The ability to automate much of the monitoring and control process so that operators can focus on other tasks is our specialty.
At Hawk, we offer everything from a simple alarming solution to a more advanced SCADA solution that allows collected data to be stored for reporting and troubleshooting, as well as planning for the future of your water system. Whether you are looking for a SCADA system for a water treatment plant or wastewater collection and treatment – or both – we can supply you with a real-time solution equipped with features monitor, operate and analyze your system successfully, both onsite and remotely.
With a Hawk SCADA system you can:
- Choose the level of service you need, from a simple alarm on one asset to a complex system able to monitor and control both onsite and remotely
- Reduce operating costs while improving system performance and reliability
- Avoid after-hour calls by receiving alarms indicating the nature and severity of the problem
- Eliminate the need to manually retrieve and record meter readings and log sheets
- Be assured your data is safely stored on our three redundant servers
- Never worry about getting help with you need it as we offer support 24/7/365
Because we customize all of our systems, it is difficult to give you a complete list of all the possibilities. But the systems below will give you a basic understanding of our offering. Be sure to contact us when you are ready for a free demo. We can’t wait to serve you.

- RedHawkTM alarm light / cellular alarm dialer
- Simple installation - attach alarm output of any system asset and the light will turn on when output is activated
- As well as onsite alarm light, the RedHawk will send out a real-time alarm to any number of contacts via a phone call, text or email message.
- Standard system includes one high- or low-level alarm, power loss notification, communication loss notification
- RedHawk system is our recommendation for up to 10 assets, where it still makes sense to communicate between devices using cellular communication. Once you exceed 10 assets, it makes more sense to move into an RF-based system - see Pro SCADA system for details.
