Last Revised: 10-12-10
This appendix provides a detailed summary of the Citys hydraulic model calibration completed
for the Citywide Water System Master Plan. The Citys current hydraulic model was first updated
with facilities that have been constructed or replaced since the last model update in 2007 and then
calibrated to confirm that the computer simulation model can accurately represent the operation
of the existing potable water distribution system under varying conditions. Calibration of the
hydraulic model used data gathered through hydrant tests, hydrant pressure recorders, and the
Citys SCADA system as described in the following sections.
DEVELOPMENT OF HYDRANT (C-FACTOR) TESTS
After updating the hydraulic model with new facilities, 13 locations were selected for possible
hydrant flow testing (see Figure 7-4). Since pipeline age information was not available on all the
water system pipelines, selection of these hydrant test sites was predominantly based on specific
pipeline size and material type. These hydrant tests were used to (1) evaluate pipeline friction
factors (C-factors) currently assigned in the hydraulic model and (2) to calibrate the model to
ensure that the hydraulic model closely represented actual observed flow and pressure conditions
in the field.
Hydrant flow testing was scheduled and performed on April 20, 2010. However, one hydrant test
(Test 7) was not completed that day due to the inability to flow the test hydrant because of an
unidentified closed valve. The closed valve was subsequently located by City staff, and Test 7
was completed on May 6, 2010. Table 1 provides the field status of each proposed hydrant test.
Of the original 13 scheduled hydrant tests, 11 were preformed in the field as shown in Table 1.
One hydrant test was canceled due to constraints identified by City staff related to the ability to
isolate the hydrants for testing. The remaining test was considered an alternate test, and was not
required.
Each hydrant test involved flowing water through pipelines of a specific size and material type
1
,
and then measuring the pressure drops along the pipelines to determine friction losses. The
hydrant test procedure consisted of monitoring discharge flow and pressure at the key (flowing)
hydrant, and pressures at other hydrants along the supply routes to that key hydrant. Static
pressures were measured while the key hydrant was closed, and residual pressures were measured
while the key hydrant was flowing.
Each completed hydrant flow test was then simulated using the updated hydraulic model of the
Citys existing potable water system. Results from the hydraulic model were compared to the
collected field data to determine the accuracy of the hydraulic model. The differences between
observed static and residual pressures for the field hydrant test, compared to readings predicted by
the model, were calculated. The goal of the calibration effort was to achieve no greater than a
5 psi differential between the field hydrant test data and model-simulated results. Results from the
hydrant tests are discussed in more detail in the following section.

For each hydrant test, system valves were closed as necessary to isolate pipelines of a specific size and material
type.

HYDRANT (C-FACTOR) TEST RESULTS
The results of the simulated hydrant flow tests generally validated the system pipeline
configuration and confirmed the C-factors currently assigned in the hydraulic model. However,
based on the comparison of the collected hydrant flow test data and initial model-simulated
results, three of the hydrant flow tests (Tests 5, 8, and 10) required further evaluation and
adjustments because they did not initially meet the 5 psi tolerance limit established for model
calibration. Additional discussion regarding adjustments to Tests 5, 8, and 10 is provided below.
Hydrant Test 5: 8-inch DI Pipelines
The difference between field-observed and model-simulated pressures for all hydrants included in
Test 5 was up to 7 psi. Since the C-factor required for the model to simulate within the 5 psi
pressure differential for Test 5 is unreasonable for this pipeline diameter and material, the results
from the hydraulic model simulation indicate that there may be system configuration issues
(e.g., partially closed valve(s), inaccurate representation of pipeline connectivity, etc.) within the
area of Test 5.
On May 11, 2010, City staff confirmed that there was a closed valve located on Banbury Court,
southeast of Blandford Lane.

test data after the closed valve was accurately simulated within the hydraulic model. This result
indicates that the current C-factor assigned to 8-inch DI pipelines is appropriate.
Hydrant Test 8: 8-inch AC Pipelines
The difference between field-observed and model-simulated pressures for Hydrant 8C was 12 psi.
However, model simulation results from observed Hydrants 8A and 8B were well within the
5 psi tolerance limit. In addition, the C-factor for 8-inch AC pipelines was previously validated
in Test 3. Therefore, the results from the hydraulic model simulation indicate that for Test 8 there
may have been an error with the residual pressure reading at Hydrant 8C. It is recommended that
the data from observed Hydrant 8C not be used.
Test 8 simulates within a 5 psi differential from the field hydrant test data after the pressure
comparison at Hydrant 8C was removed. This result indicates that the current C-factor assigned to
8-inch AC pipelines is appropriate.
Hydrant Test 10: 8-inch DI Pipelines
The difference between field-observed and model-simulated pressures for Hydrant 10C was 10
psi. However, model simulation results from observed Hydrants 10A, 10B, and 10D were within
the 5 psi tolerance limit. In addition, the C-factor for 8-inch DI pipelines was validated in Tests
2 and A1. Therefore, the results from the hydraulic model simulation indicate that for Test 10
there may have been an error with the residual pressure reading at Hydrant 10C. It is
recommended that the data from observed Hydrant 10C not be used.
comparison at Hydrant 10C was removed. This result indicates that the current C-factor assigned
to 8-inch DI pipelines is appropriate.
Summary of Hydrant Test Results
Because Tests 5, 8, and 10 were able to meet the 5 psi tolerance limit established for calibration
after the removal of erroneous data and slight adjustments, and the remaining (8) hydrant tests
were able to closely replicate field-observed pressures, these results indicate that the C-factors
currently assigned in the hydraulic model are appropriate for use to represent the Citys existing
potable water distribution system. The following pages (F-5 through F-32) contain complete
detailed results of each individual hydrant test that was performed in the field. Discussions
regarding the development of the extended period simulation and the associated model
verification results begin on Page F-33.

Hydrant Test No. 1
Hydrant Test No. 1 was performed on Tenth Street, west of East Street.
3
This test was conducted
to confirm the C-factor (initially assumed to equal 125) of a 10-inch diameter, AC pipeline.
However, based on discussions with City staff during the test, it was found that pipelines located
on Tenth Street may have been replaced in 2005. Subsequent review of pipeline replacement
drawings (CIP No. 7966) indicated that the pipelines between Hydrants 1B and ID have been
replaced with 10-inch diameter DI pipes. Consequently, the hydraulic model was updated to
reflect this information. The C-factor assumed for the new 10-inch diameter DI pipe was 130.
A comparison of the differential pressure readings predicted by the hydraulic model, compared to
pressures actually measured in the field, demonstrates that the pressures predicted by the model
are within 5 psi of the measured field value. The calibrated model results and the field data are
shown in Table F-1 and indicate that the use of a C-factor equal to 125 for 10-inch diameter AC
pipelines and a C-factor equal to 130 for 10-inch diameter DI pipelines is valid.

Hydrant Test No. 2
Hydrant Test No. 2 was performed on Parker Avenue, north of Twelfth Street. Based on
discussions with City staff during the test, it was found that the 8-inch diameter CI pipelines
located on Parker Avenue may have been replaced. Subsequent review of pipeline replacement
drawings (Parker Avenue Rehabilitation Project) indicated that the pipelines on Parker Avenue
between Eleventh Street and Grant Line Road have been replaced with 8-inch diameter DI pipes.
Consequently, the hydraulic model was updated to reflect this information. The C-factor assumed
for the new 8-inch diameter DI pipe was 130.
A comparison of the differential pressure readings predicted by the hydraulic model, compared to
are within 5 psi of the measured field value. The calibrated model results and the field data are
shown in Table F-2 and indicate that the use of a C-factor equal to 130 for 8-inch diameter DI
pipelines is valid.

Hydrant Test No. 3
Hydrant Test No. 3 was performed on Buthmann Avenue, north of Grant Line Road. This test
was conducted to confirm the C-factor (initially assumed to equal 125) of an 8-inch diameter, AC
pipeline. A comparison of the differential pressure readings predicted by the hydraulic model,
compared to pressures actually measured in the field, demonstrates that the pressures predicted by
the model are within 5 psi of the measured field value. The calibrated model results and the field
data are shown in Table F-3 and indicate that the use of a C-factor equal to 125 for this size and
type of pipeline is valid.

Hydrant Test No. 5
Hydrant Test No. 5 was performed at the west end of Rugby Court. This test was conducted to
confirm the C-factor (initially assumed to equal 135) of an 8-inch diameter, DI pipeline. A
comparison of the differential pressure readings predicted by the hydraulic model, compared to
are not within 5 psi of the measured field value. The initial model-simulated results and field-
observed data are shown in Table F-5A.
Since the C-factor required for the model to simulate within the 5 psi pressure differential for
Test 5 is unreasonable for this pipeline diameter and material, the results from the hydraulic
model simulation indicate that there may be system configuration issues (e.g., partially closed
valve(s), inaccurate representation of pipeline connectivity, etc.) within the area of Test 5.
On May 11, 2010, City staff confirmed that there was a closed valve located on Banbury Court,
southeast of Blandford Lane.

As shown in Table F-5B, Test 5 simulates within a 5 psi
differential from the field hydrant test data after the closed valve was accurately simulated within
the hydraulic model. This result indicates that the use of a C-factor equal to 135 for this size and

Test 7 was not completed as scheduled on April 20, 2010 due to the inability to flow the test hydrant because of an
unidentified closed valve. The closed valve was subsequently located by City staff, and Test 7 was completed on
May 6, 2010.

Hydrant Test No. 8
Hydrant Test No. 8 was performed on S Hickory Avenue, south of Tennis Lane. This test was
conducted to confirm the C-factor (initially assumed to equal 125) of an 8-inch diameter, AC
the model are within 5 psi of the measured field value, except for the result at Hydrant 8C.
Hydrant 8C shows a difference between measured and modeled pressures of 12 psi, which is not
within the 5 psi tolerance limit. The model-simulated results and the field-observed data are
shown in Table F-8.
Since the C-factor for 8-inch AC pipelines was previously validated in Test 3 and model
simulation results from observed Hydrants 8A and 8B were well within the 5 psi tolerance limit,
the results from the hydraulic model simulation indicate that for Test 8 there may have been an
error with the residual pressure reading at Hydrant 8C. Therefore, it is recommended that the data
from observed Hydrant 8C not be used.
comparison at Hydrant 8C was removed. This result indicates that the current C-factor assigned to
8-inch AC pipelines is appropriate.

Hydrant Test No. 10
Hydrant Test No. 10 was performed on Earl Way, north of Silkwood Lane.
6
This test was
conducted to confirm the C-factor (initially assumed to equal 130) of an 8-inch diameter, DI
the model are within 5 psi of the measured field value, except for the result at Hydrant 10C.
Hydrant 10C shows a difference between measured and modeled pressures of 10 psi, which is not
within the 5 psi tolerance limit. The model-simulated results and the field-observed data are
shown in Table F-10.
Since the C-factor for 8-inch DI pipelines was validated in Tests 2 and A1, and model simulation
results from observed Hydrants 10A, 10B and 10D were within the 5 psi tolerance limit, the
results from the hydraulic model simulation indicate that for Test 10 there may have been an error
with the residual pressure reading at Hydrant 10C. Therefore, it is recommended that the data
from observed Hydrant 10C not be used.
comparison at Hydrant 10C was removed. This result indicates that the current C-factor assigned
to 8-inch DI pipelines is appropriate.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE VERIFICATION PROCESS
Verifying that a hydraulic model replicates field conditions requires thorough knowledge of how
the water system performs over a wide range of operating conditions. To ensure that the hydraulic
model was correctly configured and capable of producing results that are consistent with those
observed in the field, a verification process was conducted for Zone 1.
7
Hydrant pressure
recorders (HPRs) were first set-up at selected fire hydrants located in Zone 1 and used to record
pressures in the field. The field-collected data was then compared with model-simulated pressures
at the same system locations. Other pressure points monitored by the City were also used in the
verification process. A brief description of the verification process is discussed below.
Twenty-two (22) hydrant pressure recorders were placed in different locations within Zone 1 of
the Citys existing potable water distribution system. Each HPR collected field-pressure data for
approximately two weeks (from April 21, 2010 to May 6, 2010). The locations were selected
based on their proximity to the transmission mains and to extreme elevations (low and high) in
the water distribution system. Figure 7-5 shows the location of each HPR placed within the Citys
potable water system. As shown on Figure 7-5, HPRs 9 and 10 were missing data; this most
likely occurred due to defective HPRs. However, the absence of data from HPRs 9 and 10 does
not compromise the verification process because data from HPRs 5 and 11, which are in the
vicinity of these HPRs, can be used.
Following the integration of the 24-hour diurnal water demand patterns into the hydraulic model,
an extended period simulation (EPS) was then performed in the hydraulic model. The
model-simulated pressures from each HPR, the flows and pressures from each pump, and the tank
levels were plotted. To verify whether the Citys hydraulic model was accurately predicting
actual water system tank levels, flows, and pressures, model-simulated tank levels, flows, and
pressures were compared to the field-observed data. Results from the verification process are
discussed below.
VERIFICATION RESULTS
Graphs of representative comparisons between model-simulated and field-observed tank levels,
flows, and pressures are provided in Figures F-11 through F-21. As shown on Figures F-11
through F-21, the model-simulated levels, flows, and pressures for most of the Citys facilities
trend closely to the field-recorded levels, flows, and pressures during the extended period
simulation.
Verification results for the Citys existing water system indicate that the model-simulated tank
levels and booster pump station discharge pressures from NEI and Linne Road stations trend well
with collected SCADA system data as shown on Figures F-11 through F-13. Model-simulated
booster pump station flows from NEI and Linne Road stations generally trend well with SCADA
system data; however, model-simulated booster pump station flows from Linne were higher than

Zone 2 was last verified in 2007 as part of the Citys Pressure Zone 2 Evaluation. Consequently, the hydraulic
model verification effort for this Citywide Water System Master Plan focused on Zone 1.

SCADA system recorded flows between the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. as shown on Figure F-13.
A review of the data from the Zone 1 36-inch diameter transmission main (see Figure F-15)
indicates that the model-simulated flows from this station were lower than SCADA system
recorded flows between the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. These results suggest that water demands
within Zone 1 during the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. were supplied from Zone 2 through the
pressure regulating stations instead of the Zone 1 36-inch diameter transmission main. Some
possible reasons for this discrepancy in the model-simulated results are discussed below:
Set point controls for each pressure regulating station were input based on data provided
by City staff. However, actual set points in the field may vary from the data received. This
will affect how much flow is supplied to Zone 1 through each pressure regulating station
during the hydraulic model simulation.
There maybe limitations with the modeling software in accurately simulating the Citys
pressure regulating stations. This will also affect how much flow is supplied to Zone 1
through each pressure regulating station during the hydraulic model simulation.
The assumptions made during the development of the diurnal water demand pattern of the
main distribution system due to inaccurate SCADA system data (e.g., Zone 2 booster
pump station flow) may cause the model-simulated results to not match the recorded
SCADA system data.
Without actual field data collected from each pressure regulating station, it is not possible to
confirm the exact reason for the discrepancy between the model-simulated and SCADA system
recorded flows from the Zone 1 36-inch diameter transmission main. As discussed in Chapter 7,
the addition of SCADA system monitoring to each pressure regulating station is recommended
for additional understanding of water demand patterns and supply within each zone.
Verification results from the remaining facilities in the Citys existing water system
(i.e., Patterson Pass booster pump station, Zone 2 booster pump station, and groundwater wells)
indicate that the model-simulated pump flow and pressure comparisons are similar to the
collected SCADA system data as shown on Figure F-14, and Figures F-16 through F-20. Overall,
the comparisons between model-simulated and field-observed data from the Citys water supply
facilities indicate that the model was able to generally replicate field conditions.
Graphs of representative comparisons between model-simulated and field-observed pressures at
each HPR location are provided in Figures F-22 through F-32. As shown on Figures F-22 through
F-32, the model-simulated pressures for most of the pressure recorders trend closely to the field-
recorded pressure readings during the extended period simulation.
As discussed above, HPRs 9 and 10 were missing data as shown on Figure F-26, and were
subsequently not used for data comparison. However, data from HPRs 5 and 11, which are
located in the vicinity of HPRs 9 and 10, indicate that the model-simulated pressures closely
matched the field-recorded pressure readings.
Only HPRs 11, 12, and 16 showed a few pressure comparisons above the 5 psi tolerance limit.
The location of HPRs 11, 12, and 16 (i.e., farthest away from the NEI and groundwater well
supply sources) indicate that this maybe due to the fact that a specific diurnal water demand

pattern was not developed for each pressure zone. If a diurnal water demand pattern specific to
Zone 1 was available, it may produce more accurate results from the model. As discussed in
Chapter 7, the addition of SCADA system monitoring to each pressure regulating station will
provide the ability to create diurnal curves that are specific to each zone, which will help provide
a better understanding of water demand patterns by zone.
In general, the extended period simulation results from the hydraulic model indicate that water
demands are properly allocated in the model and that the modeled pipeline network is accurately
configured. Therefore, it can be concluded that the hydraulic model provides an accurate
operational representation of the Citys existing potable water distribution system, and is more
than adequate for use as a planning and operational tool.
