This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of water loss optimization and large meter sizing and typing. A case study at Anderson, Indiana is presented and includes the following:
performance contract used to fund infrastructure
improvements, reduce O&M expenditures via an
AMR system, and to reduce water loss;
measurement and verification of performance
required due to financial guarantee;
city previously focused solely upon first cost and
not upon performance in selecting water meters; instructed Johnson Controls, Inc. not to downsize a meter, even if it
was economically justifiable to do so. Basic and special procedures are presented, and presentation summary states the following: large meter typing can
reduce apparent water
losses;
every service is unique
and should be analyzed
independently;
low flow registration may
not be critical at hospitals
and nursing homes; success depends upon
safety and good record
keeping practices; and,
use fire service meters
where needed. Includes tables.
