The Los Angeles Water System is implementing a Seismic Resilience Program as part of a larger plan to improve the city’s seismic resilience. The Water System Resilience Program comprehensively covers all aspects of water system business, but a key component to the program is developing a seismic resilient pipe network (SRPN). A SRPN is designed and constructed to accommodate earthquake damage with ability to continue providing water or limit water outage times tolerable to community recovery efforts. The challenges to creating a SRPN is described through the transmission and distribution subsystems and their importance for providing water delivery, quality, quantity, fire protection, and functionality services. Assessing the risks for fire following earthquake, post-earthquake emergency water deliveries, and identifying critical facilities and their locations throughout the city are important to defining the resilient pipe layout. Resilient pipe materials useful for creating a SRPN are described and examples presented to show how to implement a SRPN to support community resilience goals.
