National Mains Failure Database Project
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2009: Great Rivers
Abstract
Water main breaks are a serious problem to utilities, and involve high cost as well as social disruption. Mitigating risk of breaks requires utilities to assess data on past failures and predict which mains are most likely to fail. The UK Water Industry Research has developed a National Mains Failure Database and the US Water Research Foundation has arranged for US utilities to participate. The database is being modified for use by US utilities and a pilot effort is scheduled for 2009. After experience with the database is gained, the Water Research Foundation will work with utility participants to modify and facilitate use of the database.
