LeakFinderST

Reductions in leakage are a high priority for SevernTrent, Ofwat, the Environment Agency and the Consumer Council for Water. Customers are also keen to see leakage levels reduced, but need to be convinced that the costs are justified. An estimated 27% of treated water is currently lost through distribution systems as leakage (although some of this is...
