This slide presentation outlines a study on distribution modeling and the public utilities commission, Golden State Water Company's Rate Case. Topics covered include: general background information on an
investor owned utility (IOU) called
Golden State Water Company (GSWC) Region
II located in the
Los Angeles Basin; previous approach of
CIP projects was based on perceived need, customer complaints,
low pressure observations, and
operational-based observations; the new approach involved a
formal evaluation criteria,
hydraulic modeling,
CIP prioritization and schedule; formal evaluation criteria; hydraulic modeling; demand allocation; hydraulic model geocoding; model input and calibration; demand development, peaking factors,
and land use/development; supply capacity vs. demand; supply capacity alternatives; supply capacity alternative sample; hydraulic analysis; fire flow analysis; Hydraulic Model - Future Value
to GSWC; CIP Prioritization and Timing; and, sample prioritization. Includes tables, figures.
