1 Balkans Joint Conference Prishtina IAWD DWP Project Reduction of NRW - city of Kumanovo, Macedonia Bojan Ristovski Aquasave ltd Skopje, Macedonia Managing Director

2 INFORMATION FOR THE PROJECT Project title: Total cost: Amount covered from the Danube Water Program (DWP) REDUCTION OF NON REVENUE WATER CITY OF KUMANOVO 45, EUR 37, EUR Amount covered by P.U. VODOVOD Kumanovo 8, EUR Project signed on: Project started on: Project duration: 14 months Consultant: Bojan Ristovski, Skopje, Macedonia Subcontractor: Aquasave ltd Skopje

3 PROJECT ACTIVITIES Preparation of Water Balance Collecting IBNET database and calculating performance indicators Division the all network into DMA s Flow and pressure measurements campaign Active Leakage Control applied on selected DMA Develop procedures for operation and maintenance and billing and collection Provide training to managerial staff (theoretical), engineering and technical stuff (theoretical and practical) and employees from financial and collection department Distributed a leaflet to raise consumer awareness about the importance of water and its savings Development of strategy for water loss reduction

4 Company data Established in 1956 Number of employees: 250 Population served: Annual water input: around 8.8 millions m 3 Number of consumers: households, 2600 industrial Price of water; Industry/Household: 0,924 / 0, hours/day, 365 days/year continuous supply Water sources: Artificial Lake Lipkovo Wells in v. Proevce Drainage System v. Bedinje Length of Mains: 161 km Diameter of Mains: ø20mm ø457 mm

5 Produced; Sold; Non Revenue (m3) NRW (%) REASONS FOR CHOOSING PROJECT TOPIC Approximately 60% Non Revenue Water in 2013 In absolute value - around 5.3 million m 3 water High level of NRW - one of the main problems that affect efficiency and sustainability of the system and services Kumanovo-Volume (m 3 ) of Water produced, Sold, NRW; NRW (%) 12,000,000 10,000,000 8,000,000 6,000,000 4,000,000 2,000, Increased operating costs Water Produced (m3) Water Sold (m3) Non Revenue Water (m3) NRW (%)

35 STRATEGY FOR REDUCTION OF WATER LOSSES

36 STRATEGY FOR REDUCTION OF WATER LOSSES Establish a common understanding of definitions, concepts and current approaches in NRW Current situation with the NRW in the utility Methodology for systematic reduction of water losses Establish a team to reduce NRW Calculate a water balance according to the IWA standard methodology Understanding of how much water is being lost and where Calculate performance indicators as basis for the development of a technical strategy for water loss reduction Understanding the different types of water losses, their causes and effects Activities to reduce physical water losses Prompt repairing of reported and discovered leaks Active leakage control by visual inspection of water supply and sewerage network Reducing NRW by active pressure management (stabilization and maintenance of the working pressure in the system at a minimum permitted level) Developing district meter areas (DMAs) to continuously monitoring leakage levels, pressure management, water quality and continuous supply Purchase of measuring equipment for analysis of water loss and leak detection Permanent inspection of the water supply network Implementation of SCADA system Reconstruction and rehabilitation of dilapidated pipelines Analysis of water consumption, recording daily diagrams and remote reading of water meters for large consumers Free telephone line 0800 Activities to reduce commercial water losses Control of consumers to detect illegal connections to the network Regular control of the accuracy, repairing and calibration of the water meters and their more frequent reading Proper installation of water meters Implementation of Automatic (remote) reading of water meters - AMR Preventing abuse of hydrants Eliminate the category Lump-sum consumers Correct dimensioning of the water meters at the larger consumers Installing water meters in the main shafts in front of the collective residential buildings Reducing water losses from communal consumption (unbilled legal consumption) Campaign to save water and meetings with local residents
