The Regional Municipality of Peel, Canada (the Region), a suburb of Toronto, through its growth projections will be tasked with supplying over 2.5 million residential and commercial customers with drinking water over the next twenty years. In response to this, the Region has undertaken a review of its transmission and sub-transmission infrastructure to ensure it can continue to deliver drinking water services that meet its customer's needs. This project consists of undertaking a risk and resilience assessment in order to understand and proactively manage threats and opportunities to key components of the Region's water distribution system and to ensure continued and reliable delivery of water service to its customers. The key focus for the project was to develop a long term strategy to manage and reduce risk through capital improvements and operational planning. In addition, it was necessary to link corporate asset management objectives to risk impacts and resilience enhancements to ensure they are translated into, and support the appropriate business planning processes and life cycle management strategies for the critical assets. The AWWA 7-Step RAMCAP risk management process was used to meet the overall project objectives. Existing and planned protective measures were used to generate alternative options for managing critical asset risks. Risk mitigation options included repair, rehabilitation, replacement, adding redundancy and other operational procedures.
