Long Beach Water Department (LBWD) provides water and wastewater services
in the 5th largest city in California. Its potable water system contains 912 miles
of mains with over 121,000 services. LBWD is replacing its aging infrastructure
at an affordable and responsible pace. Prioritizing CIP (Capital Improvement Program) projects and replacing water mains just in time present a challenge.
Since 1994 LBWD has been taking advantage of the latest GIS technologies to
enhance its productivity and efficiency. Mainbreaks data for the past 12 years
have been incorporated into its comprehensive GIS databases. Mainbreaks
intensity was calculated and sorted in a descending order. Then pipe segments
in more critical need of replacement were selected. This mainbreaks analysis application supports decision making in CIP planning, budgeting, and operations.
