Conservation Objectives and Strategies – Key benchmark for DNR <br />This section establishes water conservation objectives and strategies for eight major areas of water use. <br />Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue) Water loss to Less than 10% <br />The Minnesota Rural Waters Association, the Metropolitan Council and the Department of Natural <br />Resources recommend that all water uses be metered. Metering can help identify high use locations <br />and times, along with leaks within buildings that have multiple meters. <br />It is difficult to quantify specific unmetered water use such as that associated with firefighting and <br />system flushing or system leaks. Typically, water suppliers subtract metered water use from total water <br />pumped to calculate unaccounted or non-revenue water loss. <br />Is your ten-year average (2005-2014) unaccounted Water Use in Table 2 higher than 10%? <br /> Yes  No <br />What is your leak detection monitoring schedule? (e.g. monitor 1/3rd of the city lines per year) <br />Leak detection surveys are performed as needed. <br />Water Audits - are intended to identify, quantify and verify water and revenue losses. The volume of <br />unaccounted-for water should be evaluated each billing cycle. The American Water Works Association <br />(AWWA) recommends that ten percent or less of pumped water is unaccounted-for water. Water audit
