Water supply network is an essential element of urban water supply systems. The operation of a water supply system is inseparably connected with a risk of failure. The main problem in the risk of failure analysis of water mains is the uncertainty of the information collected on the description of failure. In order to consider the uncertainty of information, the theory of fuzzy sets was used. The fuzzification of frequency, severity and the consequences of the incident scenario is basic input for fuzzy risk analysis. The presented model is part of a complex model of risk management of failures in water mains and can be used in practice in system operator’s decision-making process. An adaptation of the fuzzy set theory to analyse risk of failure of water mains is not a standard approach. An effect of the analysis of different sources of risk can be used for the design of a more reliable safety system assurance.
