It’s due to implemented commercial activities; • Registration of customers’ water meter readings by “mobitoweb” system • Sending of SMSs and individual envelopes • Installation of high quality water meters • Involvement of Customer Service Center • Selective visits The payment level was directly proportional to the billing level. Along with the billing increase the level of payments was increased. 1.1 BILLING AND REVENUE Billing The billing level has been increased due to new installed water meters. Table 1.

The increase of phone calls is mainly due to the fact that the company sent reminder-notifications to 7 700 customers who has more than 2 000 AMD debt. This activity enables the customers to clarify their water consumption, debt sources, payments, etc. The provision of the monthly data on the customers’ consumption through SMSs has intensified. As a result a large number of phone calls are registered in regard to this issue. In case of inaccuracies online checking are done (ID, address, water meter reading, debt, etc). As in the previous year this year also the center carried out a telephone monitoring. The employees con- tacted those customer-residents of Gavar town who had consumed water during the year 2015 and didn’t do any payment. As a result once again the reasons of non- payment were clarified. The one year not paid bill- ing of 183 customers was 3641.0 thousand AMD. After the calls the payment was about 160 thousand AMD. During the upcoming quarters customer service center is going to carry out telephone monitoring and sur- veys of non- paying customers. 2016-I quarterly report - Commercial directorate 7 OPERATIONAL DIRECTORATE 2.1 Key Performance indicator ......................................................................................................................................... 9 2.1.1 Service duration indicators .................................................................................................................................. 9 2.1.2 Financial performance indicators ................................................................................................................... 10 2.1.3 Water losses indicators ..................................................................................................................................... 11 2.1.4 Water quality indicators ................................................................................................................................... 11 2.2 Exploitation unit .........................................................................................................................................................12 2.2.1 Water production ............................................................................................................................................. 13 2.2.2 Distribution ....................................................................................................................................................... 15 2.2.3 Operation divisionion ...................................................................................................................................... 16 2.2.4 Special works implementation ........................................................................................................................ 16 2.3 Water quality ............................................................................................................................................................. 17 2.3.1 Water Quality Control ................................................................................................................................... 17 2.3.2 Natural resources utilization ........................................................................................................................... 20 2.4 Technical department ................................................................................................................................................ 21 2.4.1 Technical investigations, design ....................................................................................................................... 21 2.4.2 The control of capital expenses ........................................................................................................................ 24 2.5 New technologies unit ............................................................................................................................................... 26 2.5.1 Information technologies ................................................................................................................................. 26 2.5.2 Mapping division ............................................................................................................................................... 27 2.5.3 Water meters and loggers ................................................................................................................................. 27 2.6 Asset management department ................................................................................................................................. 28 2.6.1 Asset management ............................................................................................................................................ 28 2.6.2 Communities asset registration ........................................................................................................................ 29 2.7 Transportation division .............................................................................................................................................. 31 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR Improvement of the Company activity by the contractor is monitored by the following performance indi- cators and connected to target values. 2.1.1 SERVICE DURATION INDICATORS Table 6.
