Long-term water demand forecasting: lessons learned with Seattle Public Utilities

The highest priority that all water utilities share is the critical responsibility of providing safe and reliable drinking water to the residents and businesses they serve. Forecasting the expected quantity of water that will be needed over the long term is an important aspect of managing water resources responsibly, particularly for areas experiencing significant changes in customer growth and behavior. Raftelis recently partnered with Seattle Public Utilities to develop a new tool that can be used to inform the long-term projection of water use.

Infrastructure is essentially a series of complex, valuable parts, or assets, and systems that relate in such a way as to provide the services necessary to sustain life, economy, and community. Once those assets are defined, an organization must next understand the condition of those assets and the level of service they are expected to perform. This can then inform investment, maintenance, and operational decisions.
