Water Distribution System Hydraulic and Water Quality Modeling Analysis
HydroAnalysis developed and applied a water distribution system model to evaluate integrating two adjacent public water systems. We collected information on characteristics of storage, transmission, and pump station infrastructure and constructed a numerical model of the existing system and the proposed improvements. The water distribution system changes were designed to improve system reliability, increase storage, and improve water quality. HydroAnalysis also proposed an additional service area to reduce existing water pressures that, at times, exceeded pressures cited in plumbing code and standard design criteria. HydroAnalysis developed and presented multiple scenarios for use of the new water supply system to the Northbridge, MA, Board of Selectmen.
