This slide presentation provides a brief look at the conventional approaches to
breaks and asset management, gives
an extended look at a new leak detection approach
under research at American Water, and presents
a forecast for the evolution of continuous
monitoring for leakage with further research. Topics outlined include: main breaks and asset management; seeking the
ideal buried asset management process; challenges to optimizing the
time for main replacement; challenges for condition assessment; current proactive leak strategies; a new alternative, a continuous leak survey; Fixed Network Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) Pilot; pilot study in Connellsville, Pennsylvania; AWWARF Project
Evaluating the Leak Dynamic; finding leaks - detected and
repaired before surfacing; finding leaks - detected by MLOG
but surfaced before noted and repaired; continuous monitoring to minimize
water loss; implications for
Asset Management Planning; and, piloting and research at American Water.
