Predicting Water Main Breaks’ Frequency in Water Distribution Systems
The drinking water infrastructure system in the U.S. consists of approximately 880,000 mi of pipelines. The ASCE 2013 report card estimated that over 240,000 water main breaks occur each year in this network of pipelines. A need exists to optimize and prioritize decisions in response to the failure of water pipes in distribution system. The objective of this paper is to develop and demonstrate a methodology that uses econometric analysis to estimate the number of water main breaks in a water distribution system. Econometric modeling provides a significant advantage in predicting the frequency of water main breaks based on historic data. The primary contribution to the body of knowledge from this research study is a novel methodology approach to estimate the number of water main breaks and the synthesis of significant parameters impacting water main breaks in a water distribution system. The water main breaks data for a 21-year period from the City of Indianapolis were used for modeling approach.
