Armando Barreto, a student at the University of Arizona, wrote me about his new free tool will extract geometric data contained in ESRI-shape files into EPANet INP files. shp2epa was designed with an interface similar to dxf2epa for a familiar feeling for the user.

Hi all,
trying to access Armandos website I received timeouts. Does anybody know of an alternative site to download this tool?
Best greetings
Sebastian
I have no problem accessing the site - its alive
Here is a direct download link:

Ok, my dial connection in Pakistan does seem to block routing, but I have tested the tool now. Noticable the elevation are not converted. Is there any reason for that? I am aware that z-axis coordinates via gps are more than unreliable, but do indeed give a first approach.
Best wishes
Sebastian
I am trying to convert a pipe.shp to EPANET using shp2epa, but for some strange reason while converting to .inp it does NOT SNAP the nodes at all. In fact ends up creating dplicates!!!
Please help.
Thanks,
