This indispensable book presents a unique and robust solution to the problems faced by operators of efficiently investing in deteriorating water distribution networks everywhere. The deterioration of these networks affects the quality of service delivered to customers, as well as increasing costs to the service provider through the decreasing efficiency of the infrastructure. Whole life costing (WLC) aims to achieve the lowest network provisions and operating cost, when all costs are considered to achieve all statutory standards.
