1 Implementing SB 555: Validated Water Loss Audits and Reporting November 3, 2016 California Water Association 2016 Annual Conference Sue Mosburg Program Manager Sweetwater Authority California Water Loss Control Collaborative Chair AWWA California-Nevada Water Loss Control Committee Chair
2 Focus on Water Loss Control 1991 (California Urban Water Conservation Council) Best Management Practice % unaccounted for water Water Balance/Audit (2009 revision ) 2014 (Senate Bill 1420) Water Management: Urban Water Management Plans Requires water audits, using M36 and AWWA software every 5 years, with Urban Water Management Plans (starting July 2016) October 9, 2015 (Senate Bill 555) Urban Retail Water Suppliers: Water Loss Management Annual Water Audit Expert validation Steps to increase validity Performance standards (by 2020)
3 Senate Bill 555 On or before January 2017 DWR shall adopt rules Water loss audits in accordance with AWWA M36 method Process for validating audits Technical qualifications of validator Method for submitting water loss audit reports October 1, 2017 submit validated water loss audit report Must be attested by: Chief Financial Officer, Chief Engineer, or General Manager DWR shall post all validated reports on the Internet Those deemed incomplete, not valid, unattested or incongruent shall be returned; a complete audit must be resubmitted within 90 days Each submitted audit much include steps taken to Increase data validity Reduce apparent loss volume Reduce real loss volume DWR shall provide water loss detection technical assistance from available funds No earlier than January 1, 2019 (nor later than July 1, 2020) Water Board adoption of performance standard rules

Click to access definition + Click to add a comment Please enter data in the white cells below. Where available, metered values should be used; if metered values are unavailable please estimate a value. Indicate your confidence in the accuracy of the input data by grading each component (n/a or 1-10) using the drop-down list to the left of the input cell. Hover the mouse over the cell to obtain a description of the grades All volumes to be entered as: MILLION GALLONS (US) PER YEAR To select the correct data grading for each input, determine the highest grade where the utility meets or exceeds all criteria for that grade and all grades below it.

7 Which Value Goes Where?
8 Data Validity Guidance Functional Focus Area Audit Data Collection Short-term loss control Long-term loss control Launch auditing and loss control team; address production metering deficiencies Research information on leak detection programs. Begin flowcharting analysis of customer billing system Analyze business process for customer metering and billing functions and water supply operations. Identify data gaps. Conduct loss assessment investigations on a sample portion of the system: customer meter testing, leak survey, unauthorized consumption, etc. Begin to assess long-term needs requiring large expenditure: customer meter replacement, water main replacement program, new customer billing system or Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system. Water Audit Data Validity Level / Score Level I (0-25) Level II (26-50) Level III (51-70) Level IV (71-90) Level V (91-100) Establish/revise policies and procedures for data collection Establish ongoing mechanisms for customer meter accuracy testing, active leakage control and infrastructure monitoring Begin to assemble economic business case for long-term needs based upon improved data becoming available through the water audit process. Refine data collection practices and establish as routine business process Refine, enhance or expand ongoing programs based upon economic justification Conduct detailed planning, budgeting and launch of comprehensive improvements for metering, billing or infrastructure management Annual water audit is a reliable gauge of year-to-year water efficiency standing Stay abreast of improvements in metering, meter reading, billing, leakage management and infrastructure rehabilitation Continue incremental improvements in short-term and long-term loss control interventions Target-setting Establish long-term apparent and real loss reduction goals (+10 year horizon) Establish mid-range (5 year horizon) apparent and real loss reduction goals Evaluate and refine loss control goals on a yearly basis Benchmarkin g Preliminary Comparisons - can begin to rely upon the Infrastructure Leakage Index (ILI) for performance comparisons for real losses (see below table) Performance Benchmarking - ILI is meaningful in comparing real loss standing Identify Best Practices/ Best in class - the ILI is very reliable as a real loss performance indicator for best in class service For validity scores of 50 or below, the shaded blocks should not be focus areas until better data validity is achieved.
