Advanced Pressure Management Utilizing Automated PRV Control in a Dual Supply DMA

摘要

Building on insight gained from the International Water Association [IWA] best practice methodology in water loss control and participation in the Water Research Foundation (WRF) project Leakage Management Technologies, Halifax Water adopted a pressure control strategy that decreased breaks and leakage while maintaining fire flows and service levels. Staff at the utility developed a unique in-house strategy that enabled a more stable control of pressure in a dual feed District Metered Area (DMA).
