Maintaining aging systems—Boston's approach
Boston's aging water system has been inaccurately portrayed as being past the point of no return. The creation of an independent water and sewer commission has helped establish a long‐term capital improvement and system maintenance program that will ensure continued service to some 86 000 customer accounts. By concentrating on three major areas—metering, leak detection, and a relaying and relining program—Boston is expected to reach its goal of having all mains more than 100 years old cleaned and relined or replaced by the year 2000.
