Description:

We live in California & water is a pricey & limited resource that we need to use wisely to supply it to our customers. We must charge a fair & equitable rate to all our customers equally. California’s Human Right to Water law declares that “every human being has the right to safe, clean, affordable & accessible water adequate for human consumption, cooking & sanitary purposes.” For all drinking water systems, a key way to ensure your water system is sustainable into the future is to charge what it costs to run it optimally & show that you can account for all the water you produce & charge your customers for their share they use equally. So how do you know your water system is accounting & charging for all the water you produce? You do a water system audit & identify how much of your water is accounted for revenue water & how much is unaccounted/un-revenue water. Once you know how much un-revenue water you have, you can proceed with measures to move the un-revenue to revenue water. A key benefit of a water audit is its ability to give you a good idea of how much water you are losing through your water system leakage so you can begin to take measures to fix it. This class will walk you through doing & validating a water audit & how to start a water loss program.

Participants will learn:

·        How & why a water audit can help all water systems

·        Who must do a mandatory water audit in California & validate it

·        How to do a water audit & validate it

·        What free resources are available for water audit software

·        What technologies are available for conducting leak detection programs

·        How to set up a leak detection/water loss program

The recommended audience includes operators, managers, utility staff & utility billing staff.
