An <br />effective metering program relies upon periodic performance testing, repair, maintenance or <br />replacement of all meters. AWWA also recommends that water suppliers conduct regular water audits <br />to ensure accountability. Some cities install separate meters for interior and exterior water use, but <br />some research suggests that this may not result in water conservation. <br />Complete Table 23 by adding the requested information regarding the number, types, testing and <br />maintenance of customer meters. <br />Table 23.
