The difference or apparenc JOSS is tyoically 20 TO <br /> 25 percent of the volume recorded by Roseville. <br /> In response to this analysis, the City Council initiated an inceoc:ve <br /> program in an attempt to idenTify the sources of [he less ard DocenTially <br /> recover lost income. <br /> fie have reviewed the metering dato from early 1989, discussed l:1e 11'.etero <br /> \r~~th publ ic \'-/orks personnel> looked dt. several uf [j-lt: lCl('~e r~C[fJS in U-'i? <br /> system and conducted some research, e 'l'idter loss -in l\('Jen H-i.I'I:; ~Uf-:~; <br /> . appear excessive in comparison to other municipal SYS1.2ms.

These areas and their applicability to the <br /> Arden Hills situation are as follows: <br /> A. Inaccurate Master Meters <br /> B. Inaccurate Commer'cial/lnclustrial ~leter5 <br /> C.
