Conservation Leak Detection
We are required to keep our "Unaccounted for Water" below 10% of the water withdrawn on an annual basis. Most of this water, totaling several millions of gallons, is lost through leaks in the distribution system. Often times the leaks go undiscovered for months because they are in remote areas or do not surface due to very permeable soil conditions. Each year we conduct a leak detection survey to try and locate as many leaks as possible and repair them.

The sequestrant system is operating at the recommended dose and there are signs that water quality is improving. A full evaluation of the system will have to wait until fall 2012 due to seasonal fluctuations in manganese levels in the source water and water demands.
