How can the NO-DES system save money?
(A) Savings realized when using the NO-DES system will vary, depending on a variety of factors. These factors include how flushing is currently being performed (conventional or uni-directional), number of operators being used, wholesale water costs and water production and delivery costs. Utilities can reduce these costs by 50% or more. However, the greatest benefit may come in the form of your customer’s positive perception of your utility by leading by example in water conservation; and no longer opening fire hydrants and wasting tremendous amounts of water. This is especially true for those utilities that have voluntary or mandatory rationing requirements in place, which typically include fines for wasting even the smallest amounts of water.
