Reinhard’s expertise is well known and respected by research institutes and throughout the drinking water industry. He is often the go-to expert for reviewing industry standards, evaluating the integration of new technologies with water loss management, and proposing cutting-edge analysis and field studies that support distribution system efficiency. He has authored numerous papers and publications, and is the co-author of Water Loss Control, 2nd Edition, which is the definitive guide on mastering the latest techniques to quantify, locate, control, and prevent water and revenue loss in water utility operations.
As an endorsement of his expertise, he and his teams were chosen to be the
lead firm on most Water Research Foundation water loss control studies, including:
Leakage Management Technologies (project 2928)
Evaluating Water Loss and Planning Loss Reduction Strategies (project 2811)
Real Loss Component Analysis: A Tool for Economic Water Loss Control (project 4372A)
Water Audits in the United States: A Review of Water Losses and Data Validity (project 4372B)
Establishing Water Utility Guidance and Methodology for Water Audit Validation (project 4639)
Notably, the AWWA recommends that utilities employ his Real Loss Component Analysis model when developing water loss control programs, and the California Department of Water Resources requires annual water audit validations to follow the methodology presented in project 4639.

Project Approach - Tasks

TASK 1 - Source Metering Accuracy Assessment and Test Plan Development
Source meters record the volume of water supplied into the distribution system, and real loss is derived by subtracting authorized use and apparent loss from water supplied. Therefore, all real loss performance indicators, and therefore real loss intervention strategies based on those indicators, are dependent on the accuracy of source meters.

Sub-Tasks:
Source meter testing and calibration practices review: E Source will review and discuss the protocols and documentation related to source meter testing and calibration practices employed at each source metering site (own source, import meter and export meter).
Source meter calibration & test result analysis: E Source will analyze any available source meter calibration and testing documentation for the last three years.

E Source has scripted significant components of sophisticated water loss analyses, like source meter flow analysis, billing data analysis, and customer meter test result analysis using the statistical programming language, R.

Development of source meter testing approaches: E Source’s review will focus on identifying appropriate testing methodologies for representative source metering sites. Where the current set up does not allow for meter tests to be conducted, E Source will provide recommendations for what needs to be done by CSID to make these meters testable. This effort will take into consideration the cost for such capital investments and the overall impact each currently non-testable meter has on CSID’s water audit results.
This task will include a site visit by Kevin Burgers – E Source’s source meter specialist to inspect source meters and to conduct comparative meter tests where feasible.
High frequency flow analysis (source meters): E Source will analyze production data for CSID’s water audit boundary meters at the highest temporal resolution available to identify potential data gaps, the proportion of flow recorded outside each meter’s designed specifications and compare archived flow data with summary volumes (see task below). Though this work often deals in very large datasets across many meters, E Source's scripting techniques give us the ability to complete complex analyses efficiently.
Analysis & summary of historical source meter reading archive: E Source will analyze historical archives of source meter readings to ensure data integrity, compare to volumes derived from raw SCADA data, and derive the entries for water supplied in the water audit.

TASK 2 – Detailed Billing Data Analysis
Detailed "raw" meter reading and billing data analysis: To assess how the meter reading to bill process is implemented in practice, E Source proposes to analyze underlying customer meter reading and billing data. This analysis intends to assess the integrity of raw billing data and to evaluate how consistently billing best practices are applied before summarizing usage volumes for the water audit.
Analyses include but are not limited to:
Duplicate records
Negative use volumes
Large suspicious use volumes
Comparing raw totalizer reads to listed consumption volumes
Data completeness - count of records per meter and per month
Prevalence and impact of adjustments and estimates
Identification of likely stuck meters
Meter right sizing - the average use per day for each meter size group, including comparison to similar results from past E Source analyses with other agencies
Prorating customer meter use to better approximate the volume and timing of use to align with production meter readings for water loss analysis
Detailed review of estimation process used by CSID for its non-metered authorized consumption
Final derivation of billed metered authorized consumption for the baseline water audit

TASK 3 - Customer Meter Accuracy Assessment
Apparent losses are missed opportunities to record and bill for otherwise authorized uses; either the water was stolen, the customer meter under-registered the volume delivered, or there were data handling errors while processing the meter reading. Reducing these types of losses results in increased revenue since more volume of authorized use is recorded and ultimately billed for. As such, apparent losses can have a significant impact on utility revenues. The sub-tasks described below outline E Source’s approach to appreciate CSID’s past efforts to analyze and minimize apparent losses and potential recommendations to augment those efforts.

Sub-Tasks
Customer meter testing practices review: E Source will review any procedures and documentation for selecting, transporting, and testing small and large customer meters.
Customer meter test result analysis: If past test data is not available or is not of sufficient sample size, E Source will instead develop recommendations for CSID to begin or augment their customer meter testing efforts. If available, E Source will analyze datasets containing small and large customer

meter test results for both old and new meters. E Source's analysis of small customer meter test results will focus on:
Quantifying uncertainty for the water audit entry for customer metering inaccuracy.
Identifying statistically meaningful differences between sub-populations of meters.
Modeling accuracy based on other available data such as meter age or total lifetime throughput.
Assessing the impact potential under-registration from intermediate meters has on CSID’s apparent losses and the accuracy of the calculated real loss performance.
Large customer meter test results will be analyzed to assess the risk of inaccuracy for each meter, or as a group depending on the amount and quality of data available.
Customer meter replacement practices review: E Source will review current customer meter replacement practices for small and large customer meters. Review may include written documents describing strategy for each size group in addition to conference calls to discuss how replacement strategies have been developed and implemented.
Optimum testing frequency for each individual large customer meter: by applying a least-cost of ownership model that balances the costs of potential under-registration with the costs of testing and repair E Source will develop an optimum testing frequency for each large customer meter (4inch and larger).

TASK 4 - Assessment of Real Loss Management Activities
Real losses are physical losses of water from the distribution system through leaks. The sub-tasks below detail how E Source will understand CSID’s current experiences with system leakage. This understanding will inform recommendations to manage those losses in cost-effective ways going forward.

Sub-Tasks:
Repair data review & analysis: E Source will review available leak repair data including forms filled out by field staff to document leaks. E Source will use the data processing scripts we have developed to assess the integrity of repair data. The repair data review will include:
Identifying missing fields or data gaps that hinder valuable repair data analysis
Assessing break frequencies for different infrastructure types
Evaluating raw data integrity (i.e., duplicates and entry errors)
GIS heatmapping analysis to identify system regions with higher or lower break frequencies

E Source s leak detection and water loss specialists have hard won lessons to share with CSID from more than 50,000 miles of manual acoustic leak detection and automated leak detection pilot activities.

Proactive leak detection activity analysis & inventory: E Source will review relevant information collected from CSID’s programs to evaluate proactive leak detection strategies. E Source has extensive experience planning and implementing manual acoustic leak detection and automated leak detection pilot efforts for our clients. E Source will assess CSID’s current methods to proactively identify leaks, catalog them, and make recommendations for augmenting those efforts in the future. The development of new water loss control technologies has accelerated significantly over the past five years and E Source has been a trusted advisor for providing unbiased and data driven evaluations on the feasibility of various technologies for agencies’ water loss strategies.
Pressure data collection, reduction, and stabilization: E Source will review available pressure data collection efforts, and suggest additional data collection where needed, to assess opportunities for pressure management; either careful pressure optimization, or transient identification and mitigation.
Review of pipe and service line replacement analyses and practices: E Source will review past pipeline and service connection replacement rates to identify limitations of each approach and identify opportunities for integration into the overall water loss control master plan.

TASK 5 - Financial Background
It is important to understand key financial parameters used to model real and apparent loss recovery to better establish the bounds of a realistic water loss control master plan.

Sub-Tasks:
Derive value of real losses: E Source will derive the variable production cost (VPC) to value real losses. The variable production cost typically includes at a minimum the cost of electricity for pumping, chemicals for treatment, and any imported water purchases. In addition, CSID may elect to include wear and tear on dynamic assets (depreciation) and/or pending expansions of supply in the valuation of real losses.
Derive value of apparent losses: Appropriately valuing apparent losses is an important pre-requisite to modeling the return on investment of apparent loss recovery efforts. E Source will derive the customer retail unit cost for the water audit based on CSID’s water rates.

TASK 6 - Water Audit Compilation & Historical Analysis

measurements of real and apparent loss and will directly inform water loss control planning and savings

Reviewing past water audit results will help E Source assess the scale of opportunity for loss recovery. E Source’s review of trends and variance in water loss performance will also provide insight the reliability of raw data used to populate past audits. Accurate and precise water audit results are pre-requisites for reliable

evaluation. Reliable water audit performance indicators are especially important given CSID’s regulatory framework.

Sub-Tasks:
Historical water audit performance analysis: E Source will summarize available past water audits or water loss assessments for CSID to observe long-term trends and variability in water loss key performance indicators. In this review, E Source will:
focus on assessing historical performance indicator variability
discuss CSID’s understanding of any notable context or qualifications for past results, documenting known uncertainties and issues

E Source has analyzed thousands of water audits nationwide using sophisticated scripting techniques. These databases and analyses provide an unmatched point of reference to contextualize CSID s current water loss performance.

Water audit performance comparison with similar agencies: E Source has been compiling and analyzing water audits for California, Tennessee, Texas, and Hawaii water utilities for the last 5 years. E Source was the lead analytical team for all compiled water audits reviewed during the California Water Loss Technical Assistance Program (Water Loss TAP). In addition, E Source authored the Water Research Foundation (WRF) project, "Water Audits in the United States: A Review of Water Losses and Data Validity", that presented summary analysis for hundreds of additional water audits. E Source's vast experience compiling and analyzing thousands of water audits provides an unmatched reference to compare CSID’s performance.
Water audit compilation: E Source will compile a detailed water audit to serve as the baseline understanding for system loss rates. This water audit will be developed using data collected from the prior Tasks of this proposal. Additional data required to compile the water audit includes:
Any available documents that may provide insight into the annual volumes of unbilled or unmetered uses such as system flushing, firefighting, estimated customer use, etc.
Descriptive characteristics for the system including the miles of mains and count of service connections.

TASK 7 - Target Development
Equipped with data for and detailed understanding of CSID’s non-revenue water activities and current loss performance, E Source will develop a range of realistic water loss performance targets for CSID to work towards. E Source has developed next-generation modeling approaches to evaluate the potential for cost- effective loss recovery. These approaches build upon established industry best-practices to expand modeling capabilities in critical ways for modern utilities.

Non-revenue water includes three broad categories of water use efficiency: real losses, apparent losses, and unbilled authorized use. E Source proposes to tackle each component of non-revenue water independently before aggregating to derive a single overall target for non-revenue water system wide.

E Source has experience integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in the leak simulation model, like for example Fracta modeling outputs.

Economic Level of Real Loss Derivation – Leak Simulation
To address the ever-evolving and extensive landscape of leak detection technologies, and expand upon industry standard real loss modeling techniques, E Source has developed a multi agent-leak simulation model. This leak simulation allows for complex analysis of
real loss recovery efforts and can assist agencies in prioritizing leak
detection technologies for water loss recovery and identifying realistic ranges for real loss performance targets. At its core, the simulation is a digital representation of a water system that allows analysts and system managers to systematically explore potential leakage reduction strategies before making more significant investments in the real world. The leak simulation model has the following capabilities:
Estimate future system-wide loss rates under varying assumptions for leakage characteristics and loss recovery efforts that can be compared with performance goals. The following real loss management strategies are currently implemented in the simulation stand-alone or in combination, but other custom strategies can also be developed:
Manual acoustic leak detection
Automated acoustic noise loggers
Satellite leak detection
Pressure management
Main replacement
Evaluate the cost-benefit of leakage control strategies under varying assumptions for fundamental leakage characteristics.
Consider sub-system level infrastructure characteristics and their impact on loss rates and cost effectiveness including pipe-segment level data for likelihood and consequence of failure.
Provide an intuitive visualization of the water distribution system that shows how leakage control strategies are implemented and their resulting impact on individual leaks and system-level leakage rates. This intuitive visualization helps build consensus with non-technical stakeholders and avoids the simulation feeling like a black box.

Sub-Tasks:
Calibrate the simulation using available data: E Source will use available leak repair and system data to calibrate the leak simulation. Calibration may also consider pipe-segment level likelihood and consequence of failure data from other modeling efforts conducted by CSID for their mains replacement program.

Run iterative “experiments” to evaluate real loss recovery scenarios: Once the simulation is calibrated to represent CSID’s water distribution system, E Source will systematically explore real loss recovery strategies, their cost effectiveness, and their impact on system-wide loss rates. The results of these experiments on a digital representation of the system will guide optimal program design and realistic targets.
Draft final real loss target report: The results of all modeling activities will be presented in a comprehensive report that includes intuitive visualizations of the optimum real loss targets for CSID, including budget estimates, timelines and goal monitoring matrixes.

Economic Level of Apparent Loss Derivation
E Source will assess a realistic and cost-justified target for apparent losses based on the detailed billing data analysis and customer meter test result and replacement management analyses completed during “Error!
Reference source not found.”

Sub-Tasks:
Large customer meter minimum cost of ownership model implementation: E Source will apply a least cost of ownership model to each individual large customer meter. This model balances the cost of testing and repair with the potential cost of under-registration. One critical output from this model is the estimated economically tolerable rate of large customer meter under-registration which can be used to inform the apparent loss target.
Small customer meter replacement assessment: E Source will assess scenarios where certain groups of small customer meters are replaced, or where the replacement rate is modified, and estimate the impact on system-wide apparent losses. Scenarios where a positive return on investment is projected will serve as the basis for the target apparent loss for small customer meters.

Economic Level of Unbilled Authorized Use Derivation
Some operational uses may present opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce non-revenue water.

Sub-Task:
Inventory unbilled authorized uses and evaluate necessity: E Source will inventory all relevant unbilled authorized uses at CSID water including but not limited to system flushing, firefighting, street sweeping, sewer flushing, reservoir cleaning and maintenance, district facility use, special customers, etc. Together with CSID Water staff, E Source will review each inventories use to evaluate its necessity and any opportunities to reduce use while still safely meeting operational goals.
Quantify total volume of justified unbilled authorized uses to establish target: After reviewing and inventorying unbilled authorized uses, E Source will aggregate the total rate of justified use including a contingency for special cases to help inform the overall non-revenue water target.

TASK 8 – Water Loss Control Master Plan Development
After understanding CSID’s loss profile and appreciating its past water loss control endeavors, E Source will support CSID in charting out its future water loss activity. E Source will carefully draft the water loss control master plan, elicit and incorporate feedback, and finalize the strategy. The plan will justify investments and map the trajectory of CSID’s water loss projects.

Sub-Tasks:
Define realistic water loss activity portfolio and associated costs/benefits: E Source will develop a portfolio of water loss activities to help prioritize efforts included in the master plan. The portfolio will include descriptions of strengths, weaknesses, expected costs and benefits. By outlining options in a consistent format, E Source and CSID will be better positioned to have informed discussions about prioritizing projects in the water loss master plan.
Develop budget and staffing projections: E Source will develop a budget and staffing projection to support the non-revenue water management activities recommended in the master plan.

The NRW management plan will galvanize consensus around a shared set of goals to carry momentum into successful program implementation.

Master plan draft: E Source will synthesize all relevant information gathered during the previous tasks into a single cohesive water loss master planning document. The master plan will galvanize consensus around a shared set of goals to carry momentum into successful program implementation.
Master plan review NRW team workshop: Before finalizing the master plan, E Source will coordinate a workshop with the NRW team to collect feedback and discuss the program design. Ensuring that the implementing leadership team has opportunity to refine the program will help build internal buy in and shape a more realistic suite of activity.
Final master plan delivery: After the workshop and all relevant feedback has been collected from CSID staff, E Source will finalize the master planning document and share it with CSID.

TASK 9 – Final Report
The results of all tasks will be summarized in a succinct final report including recommendations for next steps, prioritization of activities and timelines for implementation of next steps.

The following pages contain client reference and service descriptions for six projects related to the Water Loss Leak Detection Project as described in the RFQ. These include:
Nashville Metro Water Services (MWS)—Leakage Management Program
City of Aspen—Detailed Leak Detection Study and Billing Data Analysis
South Coast Water District— Water Distribution System Leak Detection Survey
East Bay Municipal Utility District—Non-Revenue Water Program Development
Long Beach Water—AMI Planning, Procurement, and Implementation Services

Client Reference #1: Nashville Metro Water Services (MWS)—Leakage Management Program
This project was the third round of a 5-year contract (extended an additional 6th year at the request of MWS) that included various tasks related to real loss management: temporary DMA measurements, acoustic leak detection survey, and large customer meter profiling. WLC, formerly operating as WSO, also worked in the previous two real loss management contracts (2005-2010 and 2010 – 2015). In addition, after a competitive bidding process, WLC was awarded the next Leakage Detection Program contract by MWS in December 2020.
The MWS distribution system was sectorized into 102 temporary District Metered Areas (DMAs) by closing valves within the network. Flow and pressure in each DMA are monitored over a 48-hour period using insertion type metering devices and data loggers. Large customers with exceptional night use were also logged to measure their actual consumption during the low flow periods normally between 2am and 4am. This consumption, along with the other legitimate night-time usage, was then deducted from the measured inflow into the district to determine the actual amount of leakage with the district using the Minimum Night Flow (MNF) analysis methodology.
Pressure step testing was also carried out to determine the leakage–pressure relationship in each DMA. This allowed WLC to determine the amount of fixed and variable area leakage in the DMA and provided an estimate of the amount of recoverable leakage which could be detected and pinpointed with sonic and leak correlation equipment. The DMAs were prioritized for leak detection and, if warranted, sonic leak detection was performed by WLC within the prioritized DMA to pinpoint detectable leaks. Each detected leak was reported to MWS, and their direct labor crews then responded to carry out repairs. Once all leaks in the DMA had been repaired, WLC carried out a re-measurement of flow and pressure to determine the baseline flows for the DMA. Periodic re-measurements were then carried out to determine the rate of rise of leakage. This provided data to enable calculation of the economic level of leakage intervention.

Client Reference #2: City of Aspen—Detailed Leak Detection Study and Billing Data Analysis
Since the beginning of 2014, the City of Aspen has observed a trend of increasing non-revenue water in their potable system as determined by the standard “top down” IWA/AWWA water audit methodology. WLC, formerly operating as WSO, worked with the City to identify potential reasons for that increase. The scope of work included a billing data analysis to confirm their consumption volumes and a detailed leak detection study to identify real losses in the system.
In order to determine the potential impact of systematic data handling errors on estimations of non-revenue water and real losses, WLC worked with City staff to extract and analyze consumption records from Aspen’s billing database. The analysis included: Customer Meter-to-Bill Process Mapping, Integrity Analysis, and a data trending analysis. To conduct the analysis, WLC examined a data set of approximately 450,000 records for the years 2010 to 2019.
Overall, the billing dataset appeared consistent and free of systematic data handling errors that would significantly impact water loss analysis. Although there were slight differences in annual summary volumes between the database and Aspen’s monthly AWWA tracking sheet (especially in CY 2019), they do not seem to account for the consistently high levels of non-revenue water reported between 2014 and 2019. Integrity checks and trending analysis revealed no obvious errors or inconsistencies through the ten-year history of data. WLC conducted a comprehensive distribution system leak detection survey on the whole system of approximately 80 miles of main. During the leak survey, completed October 2020, WLC technicians were able to meet with the City of Aspen to review the leak findings.
WLC technicians listened to accessible infrastructure including fire hydrants and water valves, to ensure that all acoustically detectable leaks on the survey route were identified. The survey at the City of Aspen presented a particular challenge since customer meters are located inside customer’s properties and were not accessible for the survey, and most of the curb stop valves were covered over. Because of this, those assets were only directly accessed when a leak noise was present in the area. When leak noise was heard, WLC recorded initial leak characteristics and then worked with the City of Aspen staff to confirm the leak’s existence and approximate location. In total, 8 distribution system leaks were identified.

Client Reference #3: South Coast Water District— Water Distribution System Leak Detection Survey
For two consecutive years (FY2017-2018 & FY2018-2019), South Coast Water District contracted WLC, formerly operating as WSO, to implement a detailed leak survey in its distribution network. The first year covered around 100 miles of mains and the second year covered the remaining 85 miles of main. During the first year’s survey, WLC found a total of 61 leaks throughout the distribution system. Of the distribution side leaks found, 57 were on customer meters or service lines and the remaining 4 were located on valves or hydrants. During the second survey, WLC found a total of 19 utility side leaks, mostly on services and meters, and 8 customer side leaks. The lack of main breaks suggests that the distribution system is in good condition. This is likely due to the combination of a moderately aged system, low soil reactivity and mild winters. However, the more fragile infrastructure (service connections) exhibits a higher failure frequency. It can be argued that only a fraction of the leaks found in this comprehensive leak survey would have been found by a general leak detection survey, in which only the hydrants and valves are sounded.
