Portfolio project CP139 will assess these detailed and comprehensive guidelines that have not yet been widely used in water industry applications.
Andy Godley, Project Manager comments, "The project will explore the practical implementation of the guidelines to deliver real benefits from the information produced.
Following implementation, business processes such as water balance calculations, leakage and asset management and regulatory reporting will realise huge benefits and savings.
Interest in the project is high and by extending the deadline - we hope to attract as many interested utilities as we can'.
Closing date for participation in this project is the end of July.
