i <br /> 2. SUPPLY MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES <br /> a. Universal Metering: <br /> All public water supply utilities should master meter their water sources. In <br /> addition, all users, including the utility itself, should be metered. A regularly <br /> scheduled maintenance program of meter repair and replacement also needs to <br /> be established to ensure that proper metering.is taking place. <br /> Metering and meter repair and replacerrtesPcan be used in conjunction with <br /> other programs such as leak detection <br /> , , <br /> depair and, thereby, save significant <br /> quantities of water.Nearly all sales in!h rious entities are metered. Currently, <br /> rr <br /> r <br /> all cities have some form of regul r� eterg-epair and replacement program.All <br /> production meters for each ciy areXtes ed yearly, <br /> b.
