regional municipality of Peel
Mississauga
The Regional municipality of Peel, in Ontario, Canada, collaborated with CANN Forecast to identify the water mains cohorts that are most at risk of failure, and to prioritize renewal programs. The cohorts-based algorithm was able to identify 18 km of linear water main assets – representing 0.39% of the Region’s water network – that have experienced an average break rate greater than 82 breaks/100km/year and a yearly likelihood of failure between 21% and 41% for the 2016-2020 period and was able to prioritize these assets for allocating available funds and resources.
In many cities around the world, drinking water and wastewater infrastructure was built between the 1940s and 1970s, meaning that a significant percentage of these assets is close to or has already reached the end of its useful life. Water infrastructures are crumbling and in need of replacement and repair, especially today with climate change causing significant temperature and drought variations, putting additional strain on these infrastructures. CANN forecast developed InteliPipes, a tool which enables the identification of vulnerable pipes within a city's water distribution system in order to make proactive decisions concerning the rehabilitation of water main pipes. These tools were developed using artificial intelligence models that rely on available data to provide useful insights to decision makers to help municipalities decide which water main pipes should be replaced in order to limit water loss.
