Many of the water treatment plants in the United States were constructed during
the 1950s and 1960s and their components are approaching the end of their
expected service lives. Water treatment plant managers need to know how long
certain components are expected to last in order to make sound decisions about
the allocation of funds. To create a successful, long-term Capital Project
Schedule, the Philadelphia Water Department of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has
begun a pilot Capital Facilities Assessment Program, which identifies inspection
and testing protocols for critical infrastructure at the Department's water and
wastewater treatment facilities and pumping stations. This paper discusses
Philadelphia's Assessment Program and its application at the Queen Lane Water
Treatment Plant.
