Abstract This study was carried out to select the most economical altitude of distribution reservoir to minimize electric cost that is the major portion of costs for the maintenance of water supply service system. The water distribution patterns by the altitude in Seoul have been classified into three types. As required pressure and area(required eletric power ratio) (y) by the water tap distribution altitude is the function of economical distribution reservoir altitude (x), the equations are summarized as follows; 1. Majority of the water taps are located in lower altitude : case I y=0.010x² -0.600x+102.000 Economical distribution reservoir altitude(45.0m) 2. Maiority of the water taps are located in higher altitude : case II y=0.013x²-1.500x+164.000 Economical distribution reservoir altitude(72.7m) 3. Water taps are evenly located in both lower and higher altitued: case III y=0.010x²-0.902x+129.030 Economical distribution reservoir altitude(61.0m)
