This symposium paper discusses a survey on adequacy in plant facilities. Respondents were asked their opinions on the meaning of adequacy when applied to the following plant facilities: water supply; terminal storage; transmission lines; pump stations; filter plants; distribution storage; distribution lines; service connections; and, pressure zones. The survey results concluded that there were three factors that determine attitudes on adequacy, including: type of system – adequacy is dependent on the type of system and on the source of supply; economic situation – the best installations cost money; and, future adequacy – the length of time for which a system is expected to do the job.
