Keeping track of every drop of water produced is key to being responsible water stewards. It’s also why SAWS has ramped up its proactive efforts to reduce non-revenue water.
More than just water “lost” through main breaks and leaking infrastructure, non-revenue water also includes “authorized uses” like hydrant flushing, firefighting, water line flushing (for health and safety), and sewer system cleaning and maintenance.
Historically, water to lubricate and maintain our large production well pumps has not been measured — until now, courtesy of SAWS’ ConnectH2O electronic meters.
As we learn how much water we supply for production well maintenance and other authorized uses, we can also make strategic decisions for conservation — reducing our non-revenue water even more.
