Assessing Cascade Water District's drinking-water plant on its Purdue zone map, from enterprise IT and the IT/OT DMZ down through site operations, SCADA and HMI, basic control and the physical process of intake, filtration, pumps, chlorine dosing, storage and distribution to the city; six field findings pinned where they live and ranked by consequence — safety first, then availability, integrity and confidentiality — from a shared weak password on the dosing controller and an unlocked PLC cabinet to an HMI wired into the corporate network, an always-on vendor VPN, any-any firewall rules and alerts nobody watches.
