Session 1 explains the big picture of water loss control for small water utilities.\u00a0 A water loss audit is only a part of water loss control, and alone does not reduce water loss.\u00a0 Therefore, systems should understand what a water loss control program includes, its benefits, and the role a water audit plays in such programs.<\/p>\n

Water Loss Control and Asset Management go hand-in-hand; data is the common element. This session will cover how basic asset and event data collection and map visualization techniques can support your water loss control efforts, build a better picture of your infrastructure condition, and provide actionable information to guide maintenance efforts and future capital improvement projects.<\/p>\n

The last session of this series will focus on billing system data typically used to complete a water audit. Accurate billing data is critical to developing an accurate picture of a utility\u2019s loss volumes and associated values. It is, therefore, important that billing staff supporting utility water auditing have a clear picture of the data they may have to provide. This session will provide an overview of the water auditing process, audit data that billing staff are typically called upon to provide, and common errors and misconceptions that lead to inaccurate audit results.<\/span><\/p>\n
