§ 5.3. Determination and control of unaccounted-for water.
Latest version.
Based on available data, the amount of unaccounted-for water during the past five
(5) years has averaged less than ten (10) percent (see Appendix B). This is considered
a reasonable level of unaccounted-for water and indicates that the city does not currently
experience a major problem in water source metering, customer metering, or distribution
system losses.
In the future, the city intends to continue to maintain the unaccounted water at a
level below ten (10) percent. The city collects all data needed to make annual comparisons
between the amount of water discharged to the distribution system and the volume of
metered water sales. If the amount of unaccounted-for water significantly increases
in the future, the city is prepared to take appropriate actions. The actions could
include an accelerated meter replacement/repair program, recalibration of the meters
which measure the amount of water discharged to the distribution system, expansion
of the leak detection program, an upgraded flushing program and/or a comprehensive
water audit to help determine the causes of increased unaccounted-for water.
