Water Distribution System Master Plan

Water System Modeling with CIP & Long-Term Asset Planning

Weston & Sampson was selected to create a comprehensive asset management plan, including a 20-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the City of Naples, Florida.

Using an asset ranking score determined through the analysis of the horizontal and vertical assets, our team created an asset management plan for the city to use in prioritizing and budgeting for future system rehabilitation and management. Projects were grouped together by cost, asset risk score, service territory, and other key factors determined cooperatively by the City of Naples and Weston & Sampson for the 20-year CIP. We developed this plan to ensure that the Naples water distribution system would continue to meet its level of service goals, which include maintaining the system efficiently to ensure the safety and well-being of all its residents. Another goal is to provide the highest quality water services while working to adopt a more sustainable program to protect the environment and waterways.

Project Highlights

  • Water System Master Plan
  • System Needs Assessment
  • Hydraulic Modeling Update & Simulation
  • Asset Management
  • Short- & Long-Term Implementation Plans
Our team updated horizontal and vertical asset inventories for the city and updated the GIS to include parameters that would help in assessing the likelihood and consequence of failure. We also updated the existing InfoWater hydraulic model to assess system needs and outline a blueprint for future improvements. We evaluated and reviewed the methods used to forecast population and demands and aligned our projections with those being developed elsewhere to ensure consistency between the city’s various efforts. This included an evaluation of non-potable demands that could be transferred to the existing reclaimed water system. We reviewed current planning criteria and based the fire flow requirements on the city’s current policies for supplying its customers. We conducted hydraulic model flow simulations under various demand conditions and conducted an asset management program that focused on goals and devised a strategy around understanding dependent systems.
