With a water- loss analysis, individual or periodic monitoring can be carried out in order to locate and report momentary water loss. Such losses can be detected during a water-loss analysis and can, as a rule, be directly repaired by the water supply utility.
After the leak has been repaired, the values for water loss in the water mains are minimal. These values can be used for the future monitoring of total water consumption. If these minimum values are exceeded, a further water loss analysis will be necessary. With this procedure there is no guarantee that no more water losses will occur after a specific point in time.
This analysis is to be considered as providing an instantaneous value which can change at short notice. Regular mains monitoring has proved itself useful in many water utility supplies. On the one hand, losses can be kept to a minimum and, on the other hand, important information can be gathered for refurbishment work.
