Non-Revenue Water
Leaks, breakages and unbilled consumption reduce available drinking water and financial resources while increasing operating costs.
Declining revenues and rising costs lead to deterioration of the network, which generates a vicious cycle of cause and effect.
The daily losses of treated water are colossal. A 6 mm hole in a 5 bar pressure pipe generates water loss equivalent to the daily consumption of 317 inhabitants or an Olympic pool within 2 months.
2/3 of the world's drinking water systems lose between 30% and 70% of produced water in their network!
ASPAC Engineering's objective is to increase the volume of water billed by;
- Re-design the network:
- - DMA sectorization
- - Pressure & flow management
- Reduce Commercial Losses:
- - Malfunctioning meters
- - Inaccurate meters
- - Customer meter under registration
- - Fraudulent meter readings
- - Inaccessible meters to take readings
- - Tapping of pipelines to draw water
- Reduce Physical Losses:
- - Leaks
- - Bursts
- - Overflows on mains
- - Overflows on service reservoirs
- - Overflows on service connection
- Manage Unbilled Authorized Consumption:
- - Water used for the utilities operational purposes
- - Firefighting
- - Prison Services
- - Hospitals
- - Schools
- Give close support to improve client capacities:
- - Client integration in the full design and modelling process
- - Active leakage detection training
- - Institutional NRW organisation
