Climate Change

November 15, 2017 – May 15, 2018 - A report was drafted to provide background and context on alternative water supplies to workshop participants so that all attendees have general knowledge heading into the workshop. This report was sent to the PAC for review.

May 16, 2018 – November 15, 2018 - A draft report was completed during the previous reporting period. Results from the literature review will be included in the guidance slidedoc to support the “storyline.” A revised document will be included in the draft report that will accompany the draft guidance slidedoc.

Our approach to this project includes defining the notion of risk within utilities very broadly, followed by jointly identifying risks...

As part of project 4941, MOEA Application Guidance for Utility Planning, a kick-off meeting and introductory webcasts were held, and a draft literature review was developed.

Two sets of lead pipes are being conditioned for use in studying the timing and mechanisms for orthophosphate to effectively control lead concentrations.

Work continued on Task 1 Collect and Analyze Utility Billing Data and Meter Sizing Methods.

Data collection is 95% complete and the focus of recent work has been on summary and analysis. Interesting and
potentially significant findings have emerged.

The objectives of this project are to evaluate technologies and to develop a prototype capable of identifying service line materials.

November 2017-April 2018 - A literature review document was developed based on gray and peer-reviewed articles, white papers, and other reports. 

The goal of this research is to develop case studies on strategies and tools for applying risk management principles and innovative technologies to effectively manage deteriorating water system infrastructure.
