Reusing Power Plant Cooling Water to Reduce Main Breaks
Reduction of winter water‐main breaks through the use of warm water was studied in a full‐scale project in Manitowoc, Wis. Condenser cooling water from a nearby electric generating plant was used in lieu of Lake Michigan as the winter raw water source. In two winter seasons of full‐scale operation, the number of main breaks was significantly reduced and community wide energy savings were realized. The cost savings associated with these results have been partially offset, however, by operational problems, including increased chemical addition and decreased filter efficiency.
