Authority_October_2020

24 October 2020 - The Authority prepare for future growth and meet new operational regulations. On a regular basis, those predictions are re-evaluated and the plan is adjusted. Also in 2019, The Model played a role in some major construction projects, like a water main replacement proj- ect that replaced 12,000 linear feet of water main and the decision to replace a water tank in our service area. The Model is the most important plan- ning tool the Authority has as it relates to infrastructure improvement. The more proactive NPWA can be with replacing and maintaining different parts of the water system, the more effectively we can operate the system. Emergencies still happen, but by ana- lyzing the history of main breaks and the age of pipe, water age and built-in redundancies, NPWA can pro-actively replace a pipe before it bursts, upgrade a well station before it surpasses its useful life, or build a new storage tank if needed to meet system needs and expand fire flow requirements. npwa.org North Penn Water Authority Operations Center located in Lansdale, PA.
