Conservation Objectives and Strategies -Key benchmark for DNR <br /> This section establishes water conservation objectives and strategies for eight major areas of <br /> water use. <br /> Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue) Water loss to Less than 10% <br /> The Minnesota Rural Waters Association, the Metropolitan Council and the Department of <br /> Natural Resources recommend that all water uses be metered. Metering can help identify high <br /> use locations and times, along with leaks within buildings that have multiple meters. <br /> It is difficult to quantify specific unmetered water use such as that associated with firefighting <br /> and system flushing or system leaks. Typically, water suppliers subtract metered water use <br /> from total water pumped to calculate unaccounted or non-revenue water loss. <br /> Is your five-year average (2005-2014) unaccounted Water Use in Table 2 higher than 10%? <br /> Yes ❑ No ❑x <br /> 38 <br />
