Water supply system is an important infrastructure that needs improvement in water distribution networks efficiency, along with energy consumption and water losses. DMA Kalipuro 5 is formed to improve the management of water distribution system by monitoring the water flows into the district. This program is supported by pressure management, repairs, active leakage control, and asset management. Water balance is the first step to reduce the water losses. From the water balance of DMA Kalipuro 5 calculated in January and September 2022, the percentage of water losses decreases 7,02%, from 62,55% to 55,53%. The percentage of physical water losses also decreases 7,06%, from 62,32% to 55,26%. Pressure management is conducted in order to reduce the physical water losses by installing pressure reducing valve (PRV). From the simulation of existing water distribution network, installing PRV can reduce the highest pressure from 108,82 meters to 58,42 meters.
