<br />DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM LEAK REPAIR <br /> <br />Current CWCWD Measures <br />The Central Weld County Water District currently does the following: <br />~ The District meters all water entering the distribution system as well as qll water leaving the <br />system. CWCWD utilizes rotating disk, positive displacement meters and an individual <br />pressure regulator at each service connection to regulate pressure and accurately measure the <br />water delivered to the customer. The meters are read and billed on a monthly basis. <br />~ All known leaks in distribution lines are repaired immediately and any leaks found on <br />customer service lines are promptly reported to the tap holder. Water lines which show a <br />history of leaks or require frequent repair are targeted for replacement as soon as budget <br />funds are available. <br />~ All new water lines are pressure tested after installation and are only accepted by the District <br />when they are able to meet established guidelines for allowable water loss. <br />~ Older distribution lines are being replaced or upgraded on an "as needed" basis to provide <br />improved service to the District's customers. All replacement lines must also pass a pressure <br />test prior to being accepted by the District and placed in service. <br />~ Along with the individual pressure regulators on all customer service connections, the <br />District maintains eleven (11) pressure reducing zones throughout the distribution system. <br />This reduces the main line pressure which consequently reduces leaks in the distribution <br />main lines. <br />~ Maintain an up-to-date hydraulic model of the entire system to control pressure zones. <br />~ Provide a SCADA and telemetry system on most PRY's, master meters, and pump stations <br />for pressure and flow control and for immediate response to system failures. <br />~ Provide adequate vehicles and equipment for quick response in case ofleaks. <br />
