NRW is a growing concern for BC municipalities. This guide explains how professional leak detection programs reduce losses and meet reporting obligations.
Understanding NRW in BC
Typical municipalities lose 10-25% to NRW. Acoustic correlation surveys can recover 30-60% of distribution-system losses.
Building an NRW reduction program
Phase 1: DMA analysis. Phase 2: Acoustic survey. Phase 3: Targeted repair. Phase 4: Permanent monitoring. Phase 5: Annual re-survey.
