Plan Shutdowns for the Least Impact

System shutdowns are part of life for a water utility. But the challenge is how to manage them so they don’t impact the level of service provided to customers.

With a real-time WaterGEMS hydraulic model, operators can manage shutdowns better by answering the following questions:

• What’s the impact of shutting down certain valves in the system?
• Will the shutdown of one segment of the network also cause outages in other areas?
• How long can tanks downstream of a shutdown support system demands until they drain?

Water system operators can now assess these situations to ensure shutdowns cause as little disruption as possible.
