Not only does the <br />model provide a tool for the evaluation of the existing system, but it also provides a tool for <br />evaluation of future changes to the distribution system. The hydraulic model was developed <br />using InfoWater® (Version 12.4). Recommended action by Arden Hills is the following: <br />x Update the hydraulic model on an annual basis. <br />
