Water Loss Control

Water loss control represents the efforts of water utilities to provide accountability in their operation by reliably auditing their water supplies and implementing controls to minimize system losses. Utilities incur real losses from pipeline leakage and apparent losses when customer water consumption is not properly measured or billed. AWWA advocates the water audit method developed jointly by the International Water Association and AWWA. The IWA/AWWA Water Audit Method provides the best management practice tools and guidance water utilities need to efficiently manage their supplies.

Asset Management

The greatest public health achievement of the 20th century was the construction of reliable water and wastewater systems. The water and wastewater systems that serve the US have worked around the clock for over 100 years. The continued vitality and resiliency of American cities relies on this infrastructure.
