A computer model was developed and used to analyze all components of the Charleston, S.C., water distribution system in anticipation of improving the system to meet future demands. After limitations and deficiencies were identified, cost‐effective improvements to piping, storage facilities, service pumps, and booster pumps were recommended. An improved operations program, which included a power management plan that resulted in substantial savings in energy costs, was also determined with the computer model.
