ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented process rates pipe segments in a water distribution system, the water distribution system including pipe segments and hydrants. Information gathered from maintenance tasks and inspections performed on the pipe segments and hydrants within the water distribution system is stored in an electronic database. The information in the electronic database is analyzed for a specified period of time to determine the presence of water quality factors and service interruption factors. Points are assigned to the pipe segments based on the presence of the water quality factors and service interruption factors. The pipe segments are rated based on the total points assigned to the pipe segments. The pipe segment ratings can be used for prioritizing the replacement of pipe segments in the water distribution system.
