Basic Definitions
Water Losses occur as two distinct types:
Real Losses (Leakage) – physical losses
Apparent (Commercial) Losses: water used by customers but not properly measured and paid for
![Page 5: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

What is the Problem?
Technical: Not all water Supplied by a utility reaches the customer
Financial & Economic: not all the water supplied is paid for
Terminology: Lack of standardized definitions of water and revenue water losses

Reasons for NRW Improvement
04/18/23 28

04/18/23 29
Reasons for NRW Improvement
Developed a compressive 5 yr action plan - using a participatory approach & with clear time bound objectives & strategies – (reduce NRW from 32% to 15 % by 2008)
Established a GIS system & carried out comprehensive documentation & mapping the whole network area
Shared experience & information with sister utilities on the challenges & initiatives of NRW reduction – e.g WUP & WEDC forum
![Page 30: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
04/18/23 30
Undertook pilot studies of the distribution network & technically isolate 3 discrete zones
Set up of three DMAs – with demarcated customer accounts,
Aligned the organization structure to the Zones and allocated staff & other resources for accountability enhancement (Territorial Management Concept)
Appointed Zonal leaders accountable for the Zones performance
Aligned the billing system with the Zones for easy monitoring
Set targets for each Zone & established an incentive mechanism to drive performance
Carried out regular performance monitoring of the Zones

04/18/23 32
Reasons for NRW Improvement
Organization Structure focused on NRW reductions
![Page 33: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Initiatives to address Leakage
04/18/23 33
Established a standby 24 hrs leak management unit – speed and quality of repairs –leakage handling efficiency (identified leaks repaired in < 6hrs)
Trained staff on effective leak detection, repair & monitoring (in house & external training) & equipped them with newly acquired leak detection equipments
Established a more pro-active leak detection & repair programme
Sensitized & encouraged the public to vigorously report water leaks/bursts – attached a reward ($1.5 -3) for @ case reported
Computerised the leaks reporting register for easy
tracking & monitoring
![Page 34: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
04/18/23 34
Initiatives to address Leakage
Routine inspection & servicing of valves & fire hydrants
Leak clustering for better monitoring of network condition thus planning for replacement.
Developed a medium term investment plan – replacement of old
pipelines of the water distribution network
12.4 Km of worn out pipes were replaced
more than 60% of the network is currently
less than 5 Years old
![Page 35: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
04/18/23 35
Initiatives to address CL
Carried out investigations to detect & cut–off illegal connections from the mains
Declared Monday an illegal connection day – investigating cases of suspected illegal connections
Worked closely with local communities to identify illegal cases & meter vandalism
Offered incentives/rewards to informers of illegal users – ($32 for commercial, UGX $20 for domestic & $3 to staff)
Established fines/ penalties for illegal connections – $305 + 2 yrs estimated consumption
Established amnesty programmes to woo back illegal consumers
![Page 36: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
04/18/23 36
Initiatives to address CL
Regular spot checks on large customers & construction sites
Spot checks and auditing of meter readings + rotation of meter readers (every 6 months)
Meter testing in the laboratory and replacing meters that under-register consumption
Universal metering of customer accounts - (all accounts metered & over 70% of the meters are less 6 yrs old)
![Page 37: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
04/18/23 37
Initiatives to address CL
Prompt updating of customer database –NCs updated within 2 days
Effective disconnection for non-payment - some customers disconnected from the main
Right sizing of meters based on customer demand profiles for effective recording of consumption esp. bulk meters
Introduced New Connection Policy – NWSC procures & install all water pipes & fitting and also maintains the service line – standardization of pipes & fittings - quality
![Page 38: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Costs and Benefits
04/18/23 38
Reduced NRW from 32% to 17% – reducing operating costs & saved more water for sales
Reduced leak repair costs – improved network performance
Strengthened staff capacity in water loss reduction
Enhanced public awareness & improved corporate image
![Page 39: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Challenges
04/18/23 39
Sustaining and improving performance further (Economic levels of leakage –ELL and Economic levels of apparent losses – ELAL).
Improving the accuracy of the individual components of the water balance for clear prioritisation of actions and investments
Re-zoning the network into hydraulic zones & DMAs
Accurate data for GIS and constructing network hydraulic models
Elimination of Illegal connections – dynamic problem
Appropriate NRW indicators to promote utility benchmarking
![Page 40: 5/17/20151 Non-Revenue Water Management : The Case of Entebbe, Uganda Presented by Harrison Mutikanga At The SWITCH PILOT TRAINING Capital Inn - Entebbe,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cfa5503460f949cc36b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Lessons Learned
04/18/23 40
Reducing NRW is an on-going activity and not a one-off exercise
NRW is expensive and needs investment to be reduced - is self financing in the long run.
Combating commercial losses requires less investments but high mgt commitment, community support & appropriate incentives
Pilot area projects are recommended for testing new techniques and quantifying costs and benefits of NRW reduction
Staff involvement & ownership is critical for successful reduction of NRW
Utility performance benchmarking is a powerful tool for reducing NRW.

Conclusions
NRW is a problem for most Utilities worldwide
The water balance & PIs are effective tools for assessment of NRW and for performance benchmarking
The Entebbe case study demonstrates that significant water savings can be made even in developing countries with appropriate technical support and training
Address poor governance & institutional challenges
The Shared experience during this training should be a catalyst for action to save and conserve water
