Auditor General's Findings

NWC did not achieve the 2008-13 Tariff Determination Notice target to reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW) to 50%.
At March 2014, NRW stood at 71%, representing 16 percentage points above OUR’s target of 55%. Of the 270 billion imperial gallons of NRW, leaks accounted for 132 billion (49%), while unauthorized consumption accounted for 137 billion imperial gallons (51%).

Recommendation

NWC should immediately seek to develop a comprehensive water loss management strategy to address the issue of NRW. The strategy should include a robust plan to repair 95 per cent of reported system leaks within the required one to three days. NWC should also put systems in place to complete all NRW reduction projects before the end of the 2013-18 tariff periods so as to realized expected efficiency gains.
