With rapid growth and limited water supplies,
many water systems throughout the United States, in
particular those in western states, are aware of the
need for water conservation. Supplying secondary
water is an approach that reduces demand on potable
water and allows for more connections. However,
unmetered secondary water use has resulted in an
increase in overall water use. The regulation of secondary
water would provide utilities increased control
of water supplies and would allow residential
users to actively conserve water used for outdoor
purposes.
The authors explore current practices that water
suppliers are using, including filtration and innovative
meter designs, to conserve precious water resources.
Their experiences show that not only is secondary
metering a future necessity, it is also a current possibility.
Water suppliers can use this information to learn
from the experiences of other systems and plan the
future of their own distribution systems. Includes 24 references, figures.
