Good failure registration is very important in underpinning a water-main replacement policy. Indeed, failure registration is one of the building blocks for drinking water companies in designing rational asset management. To support failure registration and the improvement of data and data processes, the Dutch drinking water companies and KWR have jointly developed the Drinking Water Operational Code (PCD, in its Dutch initials) for Uniform Failure Registration Database. On 31 October 2017, the PCD was explained during a workshop on the Uniform Failure Registration Database. Following its approval by the companies concerned, the definitive PCD will be delivered in November 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Importance of uniform failure registration<\/h2>\n

Since 2009, eight Dutch drinking water companies have been entering their failure data into the Uniform Failure Registration Database (USTORE) software. The registration is carried out according to a jointly agreed procedure. The positive result of this uniform approach is that the failure data of different companies can be compared, and consequently more information is available for the generation of knowledge about specific water-main cohorts, and about the role of environmental factors in the failures. In addition, the level of attention given to the quality of the failure data has increased, and new possibilities now exist to provide more complex data and GIS analyses through USTORE web, which is the web app that gives access to USTORE for the drinking water companies. In order to secure and update the data provision upon the registration and analysis of failures, a project has been launched to establish a quality standard for USTORE data.<\/p>\n
