2014 Water Audit Summary
AGENDA ITEM# 4C
APRIL 27,2015
The City prepares and submits a water utility audit to the St. Johns River Water Management District
each year using the District's Water Audit Form. The annual water audit identifies the potable water
uses and losses over the prior calendar year and is required by the District for compliance with the City's
consumptive use permit. The audit compares the total amount of water produced over the 12-month
period with the amount used and metered throughout the distribution system (water customer and City
facility uses) to quantify the amount of unaccounted for water loss. If the total unaccounted for loss is
greater than 10%, the City may be required to implement a leak detection program and perform
supplementary meter testing/ replacement activities.
The City completed and submitted the 2014 Water Audit on February 11, 2015. The audit identified a
total unaccounted for loss from the treatment and distribution systems of 4.0%, well below the District's
10% exceedance requirement. The resulting water amounts and percentages identified and reported in
the 2014 water audit are summarized below:
