Water Audit • Water Production – Total Sales = Unaccounted for Water • Unaccounted for water consists of unmettered free accounts, fire protection, system flushing, water leaks and water theft. • To achieve a more accurate water audit • Meter free accounts and obtain fire protection usage and closely monitor flushing.

  5. Meter Calibration • First establish meter calibration program for water source production. • Second establish meter calibration programs for customer accounts. • Begin with the larger water users.

  6. Leak Prevention • Capital Improvement Programs • Lateral Replacement Policy • In House Water Line Improvements • Aggressive Leak Repair Strategies

  7. Reduction in Water Leaks

  8. Water Main & Looping Program • Elimination of dead-ended lines results in better water quality and reduces required flushing • Looped water lines also improve fire protection • Looping and replacing of outdated distribution lines have helped the city reduce its required flushing • This program has resulted in a savings of over 4 million gallons of water between 1999 and 2001.

  9. Alternative Water Sources for Irrigation • Shallow wells developed for 15 squared in Savannah’s Historic District.

Statistics • Maximum Flow for Each Filter - 2.5 MGD • Average Flow to Filters - 1.0 to 1.5 MGD • Filter Design Capacity for Suspended Solids @ Average Flow - 30 to 50 mg/l - Actual Average Effluent Flow TSS is 1.0 to 3.0 mg/l • Media Type - Anthracite and Two Types of Sand • Filter Measurements - 33' X 12' X 6' • Filter Water Level - 3'

  18. President Street Plant Awards - 2000

  19. Awards - 2000 • First Place - USEPA Region 4 Advanced Wastewater Treatment > 10 MGD • Second Place USEPA National Advanced Wastewater Treatment >10 MGD • Reclaimed/Reuse Water System Was a Major Factor in the President Street Plant Winning These Awards
