Abstract: Cast iron mains play an important role in Brooklyn Unions distribution activities as they do for many other utilities. In fact, in the United States today there are over 72,000 miles of cast iron distribution mains. Brooklyn Unions 2,297 miles of cast iron mains account for over 61 percent of our distribution network. While some utilities have initiated planned cast iron replacement programs, Brooklyn Union, after careful analysis of the current and projected future operating performance of our cast iron meiins, has made the commitment to maintain rather than replace its cast iron system. This paper details the approach Brooklyn Union uses to evaluate and direct our cast iron maintenance activities to ensure peak performance.
