Real Water Loss Control\u00a0<\/h2>\n

A variety of tools are available to\u00a0<\/span>reduce\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>real\u00a0<\/span>water\u00a0<\/span>loss<\/span>,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0including\u00a0<\/span>pressure\u00a0<\/span>management,\u00a0<\/span>improved detection\u00a0<\/span>of leaks, asset management practices,\u00a0<\/span>and optimized<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>repair<\/span>. The first step<\/span>\u00a0towards reducing those losses<\/span>\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0identifying\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>cause and extent of the\u00a0<\/span>real loss<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
