Fixed Controlled Water Leakage....Wasted Money Down the Drain

Identifying and repairing leaks and other water use anomalies within a facility’s water distribution system or from a particular process or equipment can keep a facility from wasting significant quantities of water. As described in Table 2-2 (shown above), water leaks can add up over time.

An aggressive leak detection and repair program can help facility managers better understand building water use and save money by avoiding water waste.

In Learning Unit 8, Fixing Uncontrolled Water Leakage is explored in greater detail.
