Q:  What are some additional benefits – other than dramatic cost savings – of rehabilitating large valves rather than replacing them?

A:  In addition to cost savings (repair is a fraction of replacement cost) there are many other benefits to rehabilitating the large and critical valves in water transmission systems.  Here are just a few:

• Reliable operability assures critical customers are protected (hospitals, dialysis centers, day care centers, universities, and large areas that do not have a redundant water supply)
• Rehabilitation requires minimal disruptions to service as opposed to replacement
• Rehabilitation advances control of the transmission system
• Rehabilitating large valves increases reliability
• Rehabilitation improves the image of conservation and cost-effective resiliency
