Abstract
A procedure is described that uses the history of main breaks to forecast how the number of breaks would change with time if the pipe were not replaced; a separate analysis predicts the failure rate of newly installed pipes. These forecasts are combined with cost data and a discount rate that accounts for inflation to determine the optimal replacement date.
