Conservation Objectives and Strategies -Key benchmark for DNR <br /> This section establishes water conservation objectives and strategies for eight major areas of water use. <br /> Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue)Water loss to Less than 10% <br /> The Minnesota Rural Waters Association,the Metropolitan Council and the Department of Natural <br /> Resources recommend that all water uses be metered. Metering can help identify high use locations <br /> and times, along with leaks within buildings that have multiple meters. <br /> It is difficult to quantify specific unmetered water use such as that associated with firefighting and <br /> system flushing or system leaks. Typically,water suppliers subtract metered water use from total water <br /> pumped to calculate unaccounted or non-revenue water loss. <br /> Is your ten-year average (2005-2014)unaccounted Water Use in Table 2 higher than 10%? <br /> ✓ No <br /> What is your leak detection monitoring schedule? <br /> Contract a leak detection expert to check 1/4 of the distribution system annually for leaks. <br /> Water Audits—are intended to identify, quantify and verify water and revenue losses.The volume of <br /> unaccounted-for water should be evaluated each billing cycle.The American Water Works Association <br /> (AWWA) recommends that ten percent or less of pumped water is unaccounted-for water.Water audit <br /> 32 <br /> 72 <br />
