Learn How to Identify and Prevent Water Leaks

Water leaks can occur in various places on your property, and they can waste significant amounts of water, often without you noticing. For instance, a dripping tap can waste up to 5,000 litres of water over three months.

To check for leaks, turn off all water sources in your house and garden, then record your water meter measurement numbers. Wait for thirty minutes and record the numbers again. If the dials have moved, there may be a leak.

If you're thinking about upgrading your plumbing, knowing typical water consumption estimates for common household uses can help. Check out the table below to learn more. Prevent water leaks to avoid unnecessary water waste and higher water bills.
