Abstract
The City of Atlanta's water distribution network was evaluated for meeting the minimum production of 65% of the average daily demand (ADD) in emergency shutdown condition at one of the water treatment plants. The study also investigated new locations of intergovernmental emergency water connections between the City of Atlanta (COA) system and neighboring water systems. The results of hydraulic modeling indicated that COA has an internal redundancy in place which meets the 65% ADD requirements. The interconnection capacity coming from other jurisdictions will definitely enhance reliability to COA system. The study proposed certain criteria and methods for emergency situation analysis which can be used by other utilities undertaking similar studies.
