Abstract:
24-7 supply is achieved when water is delivered continuously to every customer of the service 24 hours a day, every day of the year, through a transmission and distribution system that is continuously full and under positive pressure throughout all of its pipelines and networks. Of course, very occasionally, in times of exceptional circumstances, there may be short interruptions to this continuity of supply. However, any service which routinely fails to provide continuity "24 hours a day, every day of the year" must be considered intermittent - and the problems experienced are precisely the same for all periodicities of intermittent supply, whether there is an intermittency of 20 hours a day or of two hours a day. One thing is common to all water distribution systems -intermittent water supplies are a considerable danger to health and preclude any possibility of practicing service efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The negative aspects of this can be avoided by conversion to continuous supply.
