This meet we discussed about the expenses the town faces and we compared that to the expenses that we pay as residents of a town. So we approximated that the town pays $480 per million gallons of water to purify, store, and supply it to us. Then we calculated the amount of money that we pay to the town and we came out to $4264 per million gallons. The difference between what the town pays and what we pay them is huge. The difference is almost 10 times larger for us, but it is still cheaper then electricity or gas.
We also calculated the expenses the town would have if there was a leak and when there is a leak the water is not pumped to the user either. So when there is a leak the loss is only for the amount of water. We next calculated how much of a loss meter errors are for the town and surprisingly meter errors have a substantial loss, almost 10 times more expensive than leaks! Meter errors tend to be more expensive because the water is treated and pumped all the way to the user and the user doesn't pay for the water and neither the treatment. While leaks are not pumped up to the user and it is not used by the user.
