Water usage walk
Walk an area to find water waste: leaks, running taps and overuse.
The full question list
The 9 questions in the audit
Every question is answered Yes, No or N/A. Each No is flagged and asks for a photo and a comment, so the finding arrives with its evidence.
Leaks and losses

Use
- 4Water is not used where a dry method would do

- 6Flow settings are right for the task
Metering and records
- 7Meters are read and recorded
- 8Unusual use is investigated

- An auditor or leader answers each question from what they see, hear and read in the area.
- Each record starts with: Area.
How it is scored
The template is built with points per answer and a pass mark of 80. In this library every audit is set to pass at 80 and every inspection at 90. Each submitted audit shows its score and pass or fail, and every No is flagged with its photo and comment.
Change the points or the pass mark after you clone it. How rules and scoring work.
