GRAFTON, N.D. -- The North Dakota Rural Water Systems Association is working with about 35 cities and systems in eastern North Dakota on water audits.

Executive Director Stuart Carlson said the group wants to help the agencies better account for the water they treat and distribute. The information eventually will be part of a statewide water conservation plan, he said.

"In the water conservation plan, we're looking at metering, we're looking at pressure in your system," Carlson said. "Is it adequate? Is it too high? We're looking at leak detection. We're looking at education information programs.

"The idea is just to provide some data to the city leaders that gives them a blueprint -- gives them a little better idea of the water they're using and trying to make an accounting for that water that they're unable to trace," he said.
