At the end of each month, the city calculates the difference between water pumped to the system and water sold through the meters. This calculation is reduced to a percentage of water losses. This is maintained and reviewed on an annual basis.
(C) Leaks are reported by any municipal employee as well as the general public.
(D) The water treatment plants monitor system pressure at all times and sizeable leaks are noticeable and reported as soon as noted.
