Abstract: Use them to compile the DOT Annual Report and then file them away until the retention period expires? At Northeast Utilities development of a Computerized Leak History File has resulted in a management tool which indicates the leak activity trends on the distribution system. The Northeast Utilities Gas System serves 153,000 customers in 59 towns scattered throughout Connecticut. The state is divided into 10 area work centers, each with its own operating, engineering, and field maintenance forces. The area work centers differ widely in number of customers served, sizes, types and ages of distribution piping, and operating pressures. Beginning in 1980, we began to see an increase in the number of leaks reported in Ihe system. In order to solve these problems, area management began requesting increases in expenditures for maintenance and capital reconstruction projects. As a result, corporate Gas Operations staff was faced with the problem of allocating scarce capital and manpower resources. Further, the time-consuming effort necessary to prepare the DOT report convinced us that computerizing the leak reports would provide management useful system-wide summaries.
