2021 Legislative Session Recap

Tuesday, May 11, 10:00 a.m. Eastern

What We Learned from the Water Loss Audits

Tuesday, June 22, 10:00 a.m. Eastern
$25 Member / $55 Non-Member

The 2019 Indiana General Assembly enacted Senate Enrolled Act 4 (SEA 4), requiring all community water systems to perform an annual Water Loss Audit and have it validated by an Indiana Certified Water loss Audit Validator, that is third party to completion of the audit, every even-numbered year. The first Water Loss Audits and Validations were due in 2020. This webinar will give an overview of the Water Loss Audits conducted in 2020 from the perspective of a Town Operator, an engineering firm conducting the audits, and the Indiana Finance Authority. We will discuss the process, what we learned, and what we can expect in the future.

Presented by Donny Aleo, Superintendent of Streets and Utilities, Town of Arcadia; Sarah Hudson, Director of the Water Resources and Infrastructure Planning Program, Indiana Finance Authority; and Sarah Wittig, P.E, Commonwealth Engineers
