El Paso Water Utilities, which serves one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas, faced a daunting future in 1989, with dire predictions of water supply exhaustion, a growing water demand, and limited financial resources. The high population growth rate, arid climate, scarce water resources, aging water infrastructure, and growing economy combined to challenge the resourcefulness of the EPWU staff and policy makers. EPWU's asset management program includes the use of advanced condition assessment technologies and the installation of a state-ofthe-art SCADA system to monitor and control water facilities. Like many pumped water systems, EPWU's is prone to transient pressures; and to detect the transient pressures, EPWU implemented the most intensive transient pressure monitoring program in the US, which at present consists of 19 continuously monitored stations. The details of this system, as well as the results and benefits are discussed.
