Abstract
This paper presents the application of optimization techniques to the development of a phased expansion plan for the City of Ottawa's water distribution system. The approach involved an iterative process where capacity-driven solutions generated by an optimization model were evaluated for reliability of supply during failure conditions and water quality characteristics in order to update constraints for subsequent re-optimization. An infrastructure solution and phasing plan is presented. It was found that the approach is sound, but the number and variety of alternatives must be limited to achieve reliable results from the optimization model.
