City of Clarksville seeking more bids on fiber-optic controls for water tower

  The Clarksville water tower now uses a copper network to "talk" to the controls, but with the installation of a fiber loop, Butler-Bremer Communications would like to get rid of underground copper by the end of the year.
  A bid received to replace the water tower control system to make it compatible with the fiber came in higher than Maintenance Superintendent Matt Kampman said he would have liked, and he is seeking further bids.
  Kampman discovered the problem when city hall was being hooked up to the fiber… The alarms also went off when the water tower controls had been unhooked from the copper wiring. The system was re-hooked for the short term, as the city seeks additional bids for a fiber-compatible control system.
