Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining a first measurement of a first water pressure value at a first water pressure sensor associated with a first water main;
obtaining a second measurement of a second water pressure value at a second water pressure sensor associated with a second water main, wherein the first water main and the second water main are within a water supply system;
determining which valves within the water supply system to increase restriction and which valves to decrease restriction to result in a decrease in a standard deviation in water pressure values at respective service sites in the water supply system, wherein for a valve at a service site served by the first water main the determining comprises:
determining a first adjustment to be made to the valve at the service site served by the first water main, wherein the first adjustment is based at least in part on pressure values comprising:
the first water pressure value measured at the first water pressure sensor; and
the second water pressure value measured at the second water pressure sensor; and

transmitting a signal to cause the first adjustment to be made to the valve to restrict water flow at the service site.
