Reduction of winter water main breaks through the use of warm water was studied in a full-scale project in Manitowac, Wisconsin. Condenser cooling water from a nearby electric generating plant was used in lieu of Lake Michigan as the raw water source. In two winter seasons of fullscale operation, the number of main breaks was significantly reduced and community wide energy savings were realized. The cost savings associated with these results have been partially offset, however, by operational problems, including increased chemical addition and decreased filter efficiency. Includes tables, figures.
