Valve Exercising Program

At Municipal Water Management Services (MWMS), we understand that buried infrastructure is often out of sight and out of mind—until a problem arises. That’s why we’re proud to offer a comprehensive Valve Exercising Program designed to keep your municipal water system functioning efficiently, reliably, and safely.

What is Valve Exercising?
Valve exercising is the process of systematically locating, inspecting, operating, and documenting water system valves on a regular basis. Over time, valves can become difficult or impossible to operate due to corrosion, sediment buildup, or lack of use. A proactive exercising program ensures that these critical components are functioning properly when you need them most—whether it’s during routine maintenance or emergency shutdowns.

Why It Matters:

• Operational Readiness: Ensure valves are fully functional in emergencies or planned outages.

• Leak Detection & Isolation: Improve system control and reduce water loss.

• Asset Management: Extend the life of your infrastructure and comply with industry best practices.

• Regulatory Compliance: Many state and federal guidelines recommend or require regular valve maintenance.

Our Services Include:

• Valve location and mapping

• Controlled operation (exercising) of each valve

• Real-time torque and performance monitoring

• Detailed reporting and GIS integration

• Identification of inoperable or damaged valves

Partnering with MWMS for valve exercising means fewer surprises, better control over your system, and lower long-term costs.
