PBC for NRW Operational Manual An overview of the process of developing a PBC from the screening phase through contract design. It also includes draft TORs for different potential contract types. Resources: Water Balance Calculation Tool An Excel tool that helps the user to perform a water balance of the utility—a necessary starting point for NRW analysis and reduction. Resources: Non-Revenue Water Financial Model Helps users assess whether a particular combination of NRW-related investment conducted as part of a performance-based contract will result in a financial "go ahead" or not. Resources: NRW Practices Rating Tool Benchmarks the process and practices of a water utility to understand the severity and causes of non-revenue water loses. Resources: Terms of Reference Toolkit for Different PBC Models These TORs provide a foundation upon which more specific TORs can be built. It provides TORs for four different cutting-edge PBC models (Cost Plus, Self-Optimizing 24/7, Program Management, and DMA Rollout) and should be adapted to suit the local situation and specific scope of work required. Resources: Component Analysis Model This excel tool was designed to provide water utilities with a tool to undertake a leakage component analysis and to identify economic options for real loss reduction through improved speed and quality of leak repair, proactive leak detection, and pressure management. This tool was also designed to assist water utilities in evaluating options for implementing efficient and sustainable leakage control programs. Resources: Trend Analysis Tool The Trend Analysis Tool is a method to assemble utility context and performance data in a systematic and complete manner. This tool can help to: understand of the evolution of performance over recent years, benchmark current performance, and monitor progress over time. The trend analysis tool complements other tools included with the Operations Manual.
