Water Loss Control

Conservation by Water Suppliers

With the need for water conservation greater than ever, many drinking water utilities now offer their customers tips on cutting water consumption in the home and workplace. But water utilities also need to conserve water in their day-to-day operations. Water utilities not only bring us the water we need, but they also consume large volumes of water and - without proper controls - can waste or lose track of huge amounts of water.

With pressures mounting on our water resources, we need to be water-efficient throughout the entire lifecycle of man's water use. With new methods of water auditing and loss control, water utilities hold the potential to recapture large volumes of treated water as well as additional revenues. Water Loss Control -conservation by water suppliers - is an essential function of the drinking water industry.

What is Water Loss Control?
