Abstract:

The use of risk analysis is important to a water utility. The economic losses to the local economy as a result of water shortages can be astronomical. On the other hand, the high rates required to maintain excess capacity can detrimentally impact the local economy and place a financial burden on current customers. This paper deals with the analysis of short term risk in the connection of a water supply.
