NRW REDUCTION PLAN. . INTRODUCTION: GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY. A major challenge affecting NARUWSCO is accounting for the water produced. This makes it difficult for the company to meet its obligation in service delivery. At present water from some sources is estimated and more than 70% water connections are on flat rate, average assessment and faulty meters making hard to account for the water accurately. The unaccounted for water (NRW) for the company at present is 62% which is quite high compared with the recommended standard of 25%. The high percentage of the unaccounted for water seriously affects the financial viability of water utilities through lost revenue and increased operational costs. For sound and sustainable management of the water, the company has come up with short term and long term plan to address this issue.

NRW MID-TERM REDUCTION PLAN

Some of the challenges of the company include: • Poor reticulation in most areas resulting in huge water losses due to frequent leakages and bursts, hence reducing revenue and coverage; • Low metering ratio resulting in low revenues because majority of consumers are billed on either flat rate or average assessment which are not accurate. The metering ratio is currently 30%; • 3. Escalating costs of essential inputs like chemicals and energy.;
