Wide Bay Water Corporation’s Leakage Management Unit has been specially set up to prepare strategy to evaluate Water Distribution Systems and to conduct an assessment of water losses, efficiency issues and the development of implementation strategies for a water demand management program.

The consultancy includes an investigation and analysis of leakage and system pressure and an economic evaluation of the financial water savings, which can be achieved by implementing the recommended water demand strategies.

Wide Bay Water Corporation is well positioned to undertake this type work. It has a very sound track record in the field of water demand management and has the most experienced team in Australia.

Scope of works

The scope of work for this type of project would be as follows:

• Undertake a desktop study to determine the current levels of leakage, water losses and system pressure in the water supply distribution network.
• Conduct a water balance and grade the distribution system on the International Leakage Index.
• Undertake field measurements – pressure and flows where necessary
• Analyse field data to make assessment with respect to:
• Current levels of leakage
• Scope for pressure management
• Provide a detailed program for future sectorisation (establishment of district meter areas and/or pressure zones) of the network.
• Make recommendations on installation of flow meters, pressure reducing valves if sectors are to be established
• Training of water staff in water demand management techniques and analysis.
