Hi there,
We have been discussing the valve optimization in the whole County and if the InfoWater Pro can have the function to optimize the placements of hydrants and valves in the network to facilitate the design and high-level planning, that would be awesome!

We love this suggestion!
Can you share more about the hydraulic criteria that you would like minimized in the optimal selection of new hydrants and valves?
For example:
Valves: Software returns a list of the most impactful new valve locations that will reduce existing risk of service disruptions by count of customers during isolation events.
Hydrants: Software identifies candidate locations that achieve adequate fire flow without violating minimum pressure, and then spatially minimizes the new locations spatially while ensuring coverage for all service area/buildings? Perhaps ensuring flushing can be achieved for all pipes is also a requirement.
