Abstract: The leakage of water supply pipes and the increase of water consumers and demand have raised the importance of knowing the actual conditions of water supply network pipelines for optimizing their operation and management. In this study, after a detailed survey on the existing network in the Calvagese della Riviera municipality (province of Brescia, Italy), nine leakages were identified with acoustic methods. Different solutions for the water supply from wells, reservoirs, and pumping were investigated to identify the annual operation costs, considering also fluctuations in the cost of energy, in order to optimize the cost-benefit of the water distribution network (WDN) management.
