Abstract
Advances in technologies and expertise should make it possible to reduce lost and unaccounted‐for water to less than 10 percent.Often, decision‐makers in the water supply field are satisfied when they can account for 85 percent of the water they produce. Recognizing the problem of lost or nonrevenue‐producing water and desiring to find solutions for member utilities, AWWA's Distribution and Plant Operations Division asked the Leak Detection and Water Accountability Committee to write this report, which recommends that because of increasing demand and higher operational costs, the goal for lost or nonrevenue‐producing water should be less than 10 percent. The report also proposes that certain guidelines should be followed when the goal of 10 percent is not met.
