CARE-S - Computer Aided Rehabilitation of Sewer Networks is a project funded by the 5th EU Framework Programme. The project goal is to establish a rational framework for decision-making support on sewer network rehabilitation. CARE-S aims to develop an integrated and systematic methodology for rehabilitation. The final aim is to contribute to improve the structural and functional reliability of the sewer networks. The main deliverable will be a Decision Support System (CARE-S prototype) to assist municipal engineers to establish and maintain effective management of their sewer networks: rehabilitate the right sewer at the right time by using the right rehabilitation technique at a minimum total cost, before serious failures occur (pro-active approach). The construction of a control panel of performance indicators (PIs) for rehabilitation is a component of the project aiming at: defining an appropriate set of rehabilitation performance indicators, developing a software for easier PI assessment and field-testing with project end-users and defining a sub-set of \342\200\234predictable\342\200\235 PIs for strategic long term rehabilitation planning. This paper presents the main features of the software for PI assessment as well as the results of the field-testing, by the end-users involved in the project.
