Description: This is an opportunity for you to speak with and hear from your peers. Are you facing water losses at your utility? Are you thinking of developing or expanding a water loss control program, but aren’t sure where to start? Would you like an opportunity for more interactive group discussions? If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” then this Interactive Water Loss Discussion for Small Water Systems is designed for you!

Join us for an interactive opportunity to engage with your peers who are also dealing with water loss control issues. Ask questions, tout your successes, find out what has and hasn’t worked for other utilities.

The last session of this series will focus on billing system data typically used to complete a water audit. Accurate billing data is critical to developing an accurate picture of a utility’s loss volumes and associated values. It is, therefore, important that billing staff supporting utility water auditing have a clear picture of the data they may have to provide. This session will provide an overview of the water auditing process, audit data that billing staff are typically called upon to provide, and common errors and misconceptions that lead to inaccurate audit results.

Cost: Complimentary.

Who Should Attend:

• Managers, owners, and operators of water systems serving less than 10,000 people
• Decision-makers for water utilities, including mayors, finance officers, utility managers, public works directors, city councilors, board members, tribal council members, and clerks
