Critical Elements of Effective Water Efficiency Programs - The New AWWA G480-20 Standard

The G480-20 Water Conservation and Efficiency Program Operation and Management Standard (G480 Standard) is a voluntary standard that can be adopted by water providers at their own discretion. The G480-20 Standard describes the critical elements of an effective water conservation and efficiency program. This standard encompasses activities undertaken by a utility within its own operations to improve water use on the supply side upstream of customer meters through distribution system management, and on the demand side through customer billing and education practices. A conservation program meeting this standard has the potential to impact all water users. 

In this webinar, learn about the history of the G480 Standard, the updates made in 2020, and AWE's verification process for recognizing our members on the G480 Leaderboard.
