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.

The first step is understanding the types and quantities of non-revenue water in your water system. The workshop will begin with a basic understanding of the water audit/water balance process. The next step is to validate the audit using data grades for each aspect of the audit. The final step is developing a plan for controlling non-revenue water that is specific to your utility. It might sound complicated, but it is relatively straightforward. In the process, you will learn a lot about your utility!
