Climate change - and the water supply constraints that it will impose upon us all.
Protection of the Environment while developing resources and producing water.
Conservation and Optimization of Source - New sources will begin with the capacity derived form our conservation efforts - through:
Conservation Rates
Minimizing System Losses
Targeted Pipeline Flushing
Source Optimization - using the proper source at the proper time of year
Achieving a Higher Water System Resiliency - through:
System Robustness
Redundancy in Storage & Sources
Redundancy in Booster Station Design
Computer hydraulic and water quality modeling of water system
Reducing Operating Costs, by:
Controlling Power and Energy Costs
Source Prioritization
Appropriate Rate Selection
Installing Jockey Pumps
Achieving Optimal Pump Operating Points
Improving Heating & Cooling Loads
Improving Surge Tank Charging
Utilizing In-House Maintenance when possible
The Reliability or Stability of a System is only as good as a knowledgeable and agile staff which can professionally respond to events and critical emergencies.
