WinCan Releases White Paper on Wastewater Utility Resiliency

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WinCan, an industry leader in sewer asset management and data analysis software, has released a white paper discussing the benefits of resiliency for water and wastewater utilities. This paper outlines basic first steps for building a utility resiliency plan, details case studies highlighting the outcome of resiliency planning, and provides industry resources for building an individual resiliency plan.

As the frequency of natural and human-made disasters rises and infrastructure ages, water and wastewater utilities must work harder to maintain a minimum level of service during emergencies. Increasing system resiliency is the only solution. Measures to address this deficit include

    --  Upgrading systems to better withstand emergencies
    --  Understanding minimum service levels and how to maintain them
    --  Preventing further damage and hazards in the case of system failures
    --  Determining necessary steps for regaining service after an emergency

"In many cities, an emergency scenario can wipe out all system functionality," says Mike Russin, general manager in the Americas for WinCan. "For wastewater systems, this can result in sewage overflows that pose health hazards. Emergency facilities like hospitals and shelters may have to go without running water or functioning toilets. Resiliency is about limiting the chances of negative consequences, and reacting appropriately when a problem arises."
