Pressure Management Services
Pressure management strategies can be simple or complex when used to reduce water loss. The provider must balance the flow requirements of the customer and fire safety requirements of the community when adjusting system pressures.Water pressure has a substantial impact on water loss. The higher the pressure, the more water is lost through leaks. In many cases, pressure reduction is advised. It is widely considered that a 1% reduction in pressure could reduce existing system leak flow rates by between 0.5% up to 1.5% depending on pipe materials and type of leak. Pressure variations and surges (often referred to as “Water Hammer”) can increase the frequency of water leakage. Knowing system pressure variations and attempting to mitigate the causes creating these conditions can calm the system operation.

Furthermore a pressure management program can reduce nighttime pressure increases. This lowers the amount of water lost from leakage and reduces the frequency of water main re-leakage from pressure increases.
