Description
Unaccounted for water is the difference between the amount of water a utility purchases or produces and the amount of water it can account for in sales or other known uses for a given period. There are many benefits of reducing water loss, including: 1) recovering production capacitylost to leaks and unauthorzed use, 2) rcovering lost revenue due to faulty meters, 3) the lives of pumps, equipment and the system are extended due to less demand, 4) reduced liability due to possible contamination through cross-connection, and 5) reduces possible damage to roads and structures, and possible demand on WWTP. This course was designed to address all the issues of water loss, including but not limited to leaks.
