AWWA JAW3831

With the price of energy increasing at a higher rate than other costs, it is becoming attractive to use a larger pipe size for transmission lines and distribution systems to save on energy costs even with higher construction costs. The magnitude of the change in the price of energy to make this pipe size switch practical is presented with a discussion of the effects of other parameters including length, flow, interest rate, change in elevation, and peak-to-average flow ratio. Includes 7 references, figures.
