Abstract

This work has focused on the diagnosis the loss of water, it’s main causes and possible viable economically solutions in the system of supply in the concessionaire of the municipality of Três Pontas. In a moment that society is facing the issue of sustainability, the present study proposes viable economically solutions to reduce the loss of treated water, thus generating a better use of resources and financial. In the year 2017, study the SAAE-TPO (Standalone Service of Water and Sewage), reported an average loss of 40.24% of all the treated water. Research has shown that the loss can be classified as apparent (fraud, domestic consumption of the autarchy, difficulties to assess the reading of the hydrometers) or real (wash the filters, the adductor breaks). As possible solutions to minimize the losses we have, greater oversight, creating plans for the gradual replacement of damaged adductor and networks, acquisition of electronic equipment for location of leaks and fraud, to encourage installations of hydrometers, to micro measurement of water consumption in public areas, awareness of users, through lectures and brochures, for the use of water in a rational way.
