Number of Main Line Drinking Water Valves Exercised
Caution
Why This Measure Matters
We exercise valves to ensure they operate properly, prevent seizing from corrosion or debris, maintain system reliability and confirm mapping for operations and maintenance needs.
What’s the Story?
- This work helps up locate valves quickly during emergencies,
isolate smaller sections of the water system during repairs and limits service interruption for customers. - The water distribution system is divided into zones that vary in size. Our goal of 3000-4000 ensures that we get through our entire system every four years.
