City Undergoing Water System Overhaul Used AVT EZ Valve To Keep The Water Flowing

Modernizing aging municipal water infrastructure often presents a significant logistical hurdle: how to upgrade vital systems without cutting off service to thousands of residents. In many historic communities, the lack of strategic control points means that even minor repairs can necessitate a total system shutdown, leaving homes and fire protection services vulnerable.

By utilizing advanced insertion valve technology, municipalities can establish new isolation points on live lines under full pressure. This approach eliminates the need for large-scale excavations and the risky process of traditional pipe cutting. In a recent overhaul for a growing city, ten 6-inch control points were successfully integrated into the existing network in just a single day. This strategic placement allows for future maintenance and pipe replacements to occur with minimal community impact.
