Water Leaks:

 

Leaks are often the culprit for unexplained increased consumption. The amount of water lost by a leaking pipe depends on the size of the hole, the size of the pipe and the pressure of the water. 

 

Did you know?

• ​A leak of just 1 drop per second loses 4.26 litres a day.

• A leak of 2 drops per second loses 13.88 litres a day.

• Drops breaking into a stream lose 90.84 litres a day.

 

 

Check for leaks:

• Check for dripping taps and fixtures. 

• Toilet leaks are the most common. Look in the toilet bowl and ensure the water is not flowing. 

• If you're a farmer, check the ballcock regularly in your troughs.
