Apparent Loss

To date, the Water Loss Control Program Training series has covered Water Loss Control Programs, Goal Setting and Data, Audit Data Accuracy and Validity. The series now moves into Water Loss Control Activities.

This training session will focus on Apparent Losses and how your water system can better understand, control and reduce them. During this session you will learn the answers to the following questions:
• What is apparent loss, and how does it differ from real loss?
• How do I find the volume, value and validity of the apparent losses in the water audit?
• What factors would drive me to take action to reduce apparent losses?
• How do I identify what contributes to apparent loss?
The session will also include a real-world example of the impacts of apparent losses for one utility.
