DC Water plans to increase the number of pressure monitoring points in the distribution system to improve the overall management of the system and to ensure the system operates most efficiently. Effective and efficient management of the water distribution network improves reliability and quality while at the same time can reduce the overall cost of operations. Proper water pressure management reduces transients and helps to prevent breaks in the water main system. Proper distribution management can also help to reduce water quality complaints by ensuring water in the system is systematically cycled.
