How do I know how much of the water I produce is generating revenue and why should I care? Understanding and controlling non-revenue water is important to maximize system revenues, cut energy use and operating costs, improve water quality, address failing infrastructure, and mitigate impacts of limited water resources from drought or contamination. In this workshop, you will:

• Understand the data a utility needs to collect in order to complete a water audit
• Learn how to input data into the AWWA M36 Water Audit Method
• Understand what data grades are and how to apply them to a water utility
• Understand the overall importance of water loss auditing to the overall utility
