The water authority is responsible for the safe and efficient operations of the water industry. This includes treatment stations, reservoirs, pumping stations and other related infrastructure.
In order to protect the water supply, it is essential that the water utility maintain access to these facilities and protect them from accidental or intentional contamination.
Unfortunately, water industry buildings and facilities are often located in remote locations which can make them vulnerable to water contamination. The water utility must therefore ensure that they are well protected against water contamination, both inside the installation and within its perimeter.
Therefore, it is essential that they are safely protected from water contamination and interruption of the water supply. To achieve this, water industry facilities must monitor the water supply process around the clock from all possible angles.
Combined with real-time water monitoring systems, water supply security can be optimized and improve overall water supply chain security.
The physical security of doors in water treatment centers is crucial to ensure the safety of employees, equipment and processes.
Security measures include the use of security locks, card-controlled access systems, surveillance cameras and alarms to detect intrusions. It is important to control access to sensitive areas to prevent acts of vandalism or sabotage, and to maintain the maintenance of security systems to ensure their continued operation. Employees should also be trained in physical security and the use of security systems to ensure their effectiveness.
Access doors must be secured with armoured doors equipped with multipoint locks, etc. to protect water industry operations from natural disasters, accidents and terrorist activities.
Limiting access to water treatment buildings is important to ensure the safety of employees, equipment and processes.
Measures to limit access include the use of access control systems such as code locks, card-controlled access systems, surveillance cameras and alarms to detect intrusions. Sensitive areas such as drinking water tanks, control rooms and chemical storage areas should be limited to the access strictly necessary to prevent acts of vandalism or sabotage.
Employees must be trained in physical security and the use of security systems to ensure their effectiveness. Regular audits of physical security systems are also necessary to ensure their continued operation and compliance with applicable standards
