Before you act

What you need to know

Purpose and system boundary

This fictional manual covers the Block A water-safety system records. It excludes the incoming utility service, building electrical distribution and water-damage repairs.

Normal and degraded state

Normal means the recorded local indication, available flow and valve state agree with the current project schedule.

Any abnormal or absent indication, uncertain valve state or repeated alarm is degraded. Use local evidence and escalate uncertainty.

Leak-detection system boundary

The leak-detection system monitors water flow, can identify a potential leak and can close an isolation valve.
