The City of Truth or Consequences (T or C) water supply system had been strained due topopulation increases and real estate development over the years. The current system didnot supply adequate pressure at peak demand and the City had some concern about thesystem's ability to deliver fire suppression flow to certain portions of town. City officialsengaged in strategic planning to evaluate system improvements required to alleviate currentsystem deficiencies and to supply adequate water demand for the future.A model of the existing water distribution system was created from several data sources.The detailed topologically oriented model of the water distribution network was createdprimarily from geographic information system (GIS) data, and updated from hardcopy maps of the water system. Waterdemands were determined and distributed based on production and billing informationcontained in a Customer Information System (CIS).The comprehensive modeling evaluated the current system, and evaluated alternativesidentified in a preliminary engineering report previously prepared for T or C. The placementof two new storage tanks, one in each pressure zone, was evaluated and a recommendationdetermined, based on model results. Includes figures.
