Raleigh Water, in partnership with Xylem Inc, has developed an advanced modeling system that predicts when water main breaks will happen in our water distribution system.

This modeling system will also be used to help with the replacement of aging water infrastructure. Using this cutting-edge technology, Raleigh Water operations can be more proactive when protecting our shared water system. Being able to respond quickly to system needs will not only save customers time and decrease stress; it will protect the environment. Raleigh Water’s equity goals of providing reliable water service to all of its valued customers will continue stronger than ever.
