The City of Manassas owns and maintains the electric distribution system within its city limits. The electrical system consists of 205 miles of primary lines, 15,150 electric meters, six electric substations, and 31 diesel generators that are used to reduce electric costs in the city. They are a member of Municipal Electric Power Association of Virginia (MEPAV) and Virginia Municipal Electric Association No. 1 (VMEA1).

The new system features Survalent's highly available, open-architecture system based on Windows Server. It includes several of Survalent's open system applications, including: WorldView, SmartVU, SCADA Explorer, Command Sequence, Event Data Recording, SCADA Add-In, Master/Slave Alarm Suppression, Remote Alarm Annunciation, Switch Order Preparation, Load Curtailment, Power Factor Control, Dynamic Voltage Reduction, SCADA Replicator, WebSurv, Virtual RTU, System Configuration Status, and MultiSpeak Interfaces.


"The Survalent Master Station Software is used to provide SCADA for both the Manassas Electric and Water departments," states Steve Strauss, VP of Sales for the Eastern US. "Many Municipals are able to lower the purchase cost, support cost and cost of administration by combining the SCADA requirements of several departments into one SCADA system.
