Fasten Your Seat Belts: Main Breaks and the Issuance of Precautionary Boil‐water Notices
Utilities are facing many challenges while trying to juggle multiple priorities, from regulatory changes to public opinions. Making long‐term plans and adequately communicating those plans is crucial to a utility's successful management. As utilities face revenue and budget restrictions, they may be forced to choose a run‐to‐failure scenario. However, although there are many reasons for pipe failure that may be out of a utility's immediate control, the level of operability of the valves is controllable. Utilities must accurately locate and assess the condition of their valves in order to reduce the overall costs for a run‐to‐failure approach. As water stewards, informing the public of health hazards is also an important duty.
