Leak detection and repair

Up to 30 percent of the total water entering supply-line systems is lost to leaking pipes. 

In most cases, if unaccounted for water in a municipal system exceeds 10 to 15 percent, a leak detection and repair program is cost-effective. For example, studies have shown that for every $1.00 spent in communities with leak detection programs, up to $3.00 can be saved.
