Non-Revenue Water Corner

So, what is the way forward?

The company should enhance mass meter mapping to help eradicate accounts being billed on average as a result of unknown location. Accounts with anomalies such as buried meters, disconnected, damaged meter and static meter should be visited to ascertain and address the reasons for the anomalies.

The NRW section should conduct meter tests on meters with anomalies to ensure that the meters are in perfect working conditions. Monthly analysis of average accounts and advising the relevant persons to act on the irregularities identified.

Umhhh…through the good work I have been doing in terms of maintenance of machines and pumps, I have set a good example to my fellow staff. This is because I accomplish my duties whenever given a task and this puts me in good books with my supervisors. At my place of work, I used to propose several ideas to better my working environment that later made my team select me as their champion on Creativity & Innovation matters. Aside from my core duties, I demonstrated leadership in the field of sports in the company that also increased my popularity.
