Report
Summary
The Small Valve Assessment Program's key objectives are to locate, examine, and assess water valves within the City of Phoenix water distribution system. This will increase valve accessibility, operation, identification of critical valves requiring replacement, as well as faster water line shutdowns required for pipe repair. Water valve assessment is necessary for accurate system data, for use during capital improvement projects, and to improve water distribution system performance.
