lines. The approach adopted by Providence<br />
Water demonstrates the effectiveness of a<br />
comprehensive, well planned condition assessment<br />
and pipeline repair and rehabilitation<br />
program. The success of this approach<br />
is reinforced by the fact that no further<br />
breaks have occurred on the system. The<br />
programmatic and proactive management<br />
approach undertaken by Providence Water<br />
can serve as a model for other utilities facing<br />
similar challenges that are looking for costeffective<br />
approaches to manage their critical<br />
infrastructure.<br />
