District narrows water-loss cause; plans meter testing
Summary
Stansbury Park reported May system water loss at 18.51%, down from 19% in April; staff suspects one well's flow meter may be reporting incorrectly and will test the meter before considering replacement.
District staff reported a decline in measured system water loss to 18.51% in May from roughly 19% the month before and from higher losses earlier in the year after bringing additional wells online.
Staff said the pattern suggests a meter‑reading issue at one well rather than an undiscovered leak and recommended testing the magnetic flow meter before considering a repair or replacement. The board agreed to proceed with testing and review the results to confirm whether the meter is the primary cause of the discrepancy.
Board members asked whether well flow is metered at the source and whether meter types (magnetic meters) are uniform across wells; staff said they will contact the manufacturer to determine testing procedures and report back to the board.
