Hello Jeffery,
We have converted the old WaterCAD files to be used in latest WaterCAD version, which are attached here. Models in the above folder had similar names, so I changed the model names as per the folder names for your convenience.

For future, the below link explains how to convert the old WaterCAD files to be opened into latest WaterCAD versions. You need WaterCAD 7.0 version as a bridge for this conversion.

Thank you for converting the older WaterCAD files for me. I was able to open them in WaterCAD V8i at the time. Last week I was upgraded to WaterCAD Connect Edition Update 1 (10.01.00.72. I am not able to open the files in this version of WaterCAD I tried both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions and had not luck. I receive the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." message. Is there something I need to do to be able to open these files?
Thank you,
Jeff
Hello Jeffrey,
You need to install patch for this error, i will create a service request and send you patch via mail.
The following article in our Wiki is related to the "object reference..." error when opening certain older models in CONNECT Edition Update 1:
Error opening model file: "Object reference..." and "Be sure to provide a database format that is valid for WaterGEMS CONNECT Edition Update 1"
