Thus, the selling price cannot fully cover operating expenses, which means the company will suffer losses in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In order to keep the costs incurred not too high, the company must reduce the high level of water leakage, so that all the water produced can be distributed and sold, then the company's profits will increase.]]>
