Water Quality
A look into GLWA’s water quality standards, testing, and treatment practices.
LINEAR SYSTEM INTEGRITY PROGRAM
GLWA’s Linear System Integrity Program (LSIP), launched in 2021, is an ongoing program of pipeline assessment and renewal. The program is designed to proactively assess water transmission mains and wastewater interceptors and renew deteriorated pipelines to reduce the impacts of failures, improve service levels and increase reliability of GLWA’s linear assets.
THE LSIP
The goals of the LSIP are to plan and execute condition assessments for critical pipelines; reduce impacts on Member Partners; maximize value of existing infrastructure to realize large scale return on investment and support positive social, economic and environmental impacts.
The first phase of this program occurs over the initial six years of the program, with GLWA working to assess and rehabilitate more than 100 miles of its drinking water transmission main network throughout southeast Michigan.
