This article discusses Calgary Water Services' (CWS) participation in the Awwa Research Foundation project, Development of Distribution System Water Quality Optimization Plans, in 2003. A study team sponsored by CWS found that the utility currently has no problems with low chlorine residual, high turbidity, or microorganisms control. However, dead‐end mains continue to be added to the distribution system due to new construction of cul‐de‐sacs in new suburban neighborhoods. The article discusses several recommendations made by the team to assist CWS in meeting industry BMPs for dead‐end mains.
