Local Water Supply Plan Template —March 2016 Water Audits - are intended to identify, quantify and verify water and revenue losses. The volume of unaccounted-for water should be evaluated each billing cycle. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends that ten percent or less of pumped water is unaccounted-for water. Water audit procedures are available from the AWWA and MN Rural Water Association www.mrwa.com. Drinking Water Revolving Loan Funds are available for purchase of new meters when new plants are built. i�1ila+>4ii#s: ❑ yearly ❑ other (specify frequency) �eketesiit�hi survey: ❑ every year ❑ every other year ❑periodic as needed er-Bast ,eat-tetitoin surrey completed: If Table 2 shows annual water losses over 10% or an increasing trend over time, describe what actions will be taken to reach the <10% loss objective and within what timeframe Metering -AWWA recommends that every water supplier install meters to account for all water taken into its system, along with all water distributed from its system at each customer's point of service. An effective metering program relies upon periodic performance testing, repair, maintenance or replacement of all meters. AWWA also recommends that water suppliers conduct regular water audits to ensure accountability. Some cities install separate meters for interior and exterior water use, but some research suggests that this may not result in water conservation. orr i e.. j3ig 3-� y�l di g }�--requested_jnform. ton -re ingAer�urnber.-type.-t irig_and Inaif%0 ani .iner meters. kabem6�# 4#o W*ej tfefs Residential Irrigation meters Institutional Commercial Industrial Public Facilities Other TOTALS NA NA For unmetered systems, describe any plans to install meters or replace current meters with advanced technology meters.
