1 ASSET MANAGEMENT WATER MAINS OWWA - OMWA Water department Drinking water branch City of Montreal Serge Martin Paul, P.Eng. M.Eng., Project manager

2 Presentation plan ASSET MANAGEMENT WATER MAINS Overview of the network Context Asset management plan Case study

3 OVERVIEW OF THE NETWORK The network map Population served: 1.8 M people 6 water treatment plants 14 reservoirs

4 OVERVIEW OF THE NETWORK Distribution areas

5 OVERVIEW OF THE NETWORK The Plan network s du réseau assets Total water lines: 5045 km Distribution lines: 4305 km Water mains: 740 km 2500 Valve chambers, main network Concrete cylinder Pipe: 320 km Precast concrete cylinder Pipe C-301: 140km Metal pipe: steel, cast or ductile iron: 280 km Without external protection: 110 km With external protection: 30 km

6 Statistiques Statistics OVERVIEW PORTRAIT OF DU THE RÉSEAU NETWORK Pipes diameters Average age of the steel pipes Average age of the cast iron pipes Average age of the concrete pipes Total pipe length with a diameter 900 mm Total length of pipe with a diameter >900 mm et 1500 Total length of pipe with a diameter > 1500 mm 400 to 2700 mm 84 years 72 years 46 years 630 km 70 km 40 km

7 CONTEXT Issues and objectives Population growth, industrialization and an aging network are the key factors that pushed the city of Montreal to think about its role as a drinking water supplier The water fund creation in 2003 Adoption of the Montreal Charter of rights and responsibility in 2006 The City of Montreal commits to provide quality drinking water in sufficient quantity Montreal Water Strategy
