This article discusses a new spreadsheet software package in Microsoft Excel for compiling a basic audit of water supply operations that was developed by AWWA's Water Loss Control (WLC) Committee. The software was developed to promote the best‐practice water audit method developed by the International Water Association and AWWA, to assess water supply efficiency in a standard, reliable manner, and to give utilities a simple, user‐friendly way to compile and compare their water audit data with other utilities. The article discusses an array of new performance indicators offered by the method, and provides operating instructions for the software.
