Summary
Watermain breaks have plagued Montreal for a while now, with the environmental, social and economic costs of each break being very high. This project aims to help reduce these costs by using data analysis to predict water main failures, which can then be used in reducing in-person inspections, prioritizing maintenance strategies and ultimately lead to cost savings..
