Managing the maintenance and rehabilitation of a water distribution network can be greatly improved with the aid of an automated data-manipulating system. The building blocks of a database system are described in this article. When appropriate, examples are cited from the practical experience of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission. The comprehensive database includes 10 areas of emphasis: characteristics of system components; conditions of mains; soil conditions; failure and leak records; water quality; high-low pressure problems; operating records; customer complaints; meter data; and operating and rehabilitation costs.
