Description

This course is part of an eLearning program made possible through the collaboration of the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Partnership for Safe Water.

This course introduces the topic of Non-Revenue Water, which occurs in all water utilities to some degree. Water often leaks from primary supply infrastructure and never reaches customers. Inaccurate customer water meters and billing errors result in uncaptured revenue. Such failures and data lapses are explained as sources of Non-Revenue Water, which have multiple negative impacts to utility operations and finances, as well as disruption to reliable customer service.
