Section 17.12.750.15 - WATER SUPPLY MEASUREMENT
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. Measuring Devices: Each utility shall install a suitable totalizing measuring device or otherwise determine production at each source of supply so that an accurate record may be maintained of the quantity of water produced by each source, the quantity treated by the utility, and the quantity distributed into the mains.
B. Records: At least once each month the quantity produced from each source of supply shall be determined. Twelve-month totals by sources shall be recorded and transmitted to the Commission in the utility's Annual Report. Such records shall further show actual annual metered consumption and any other properly estimated revenue-producing unmetered water, and the difference between these figures shall be shown as a percentage of nonrevenue (unaccounted-for) water. Unaccounted-for water exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the total production should be given special attention in order to reduce excessive losses of water.
