Pressure and Leakage Management

There is a direct link between the pressure in a water distribution network and the incidences of leakage, bursts and changing usage patterns. High and fluctuating pressures can result in burst mains and large volumes of leaks. Reducing pressure in water pipes allows you to:

  • Reduce background leakage
  • Reduce the frequency of bursts
  • Extend the lifetime of assets
  • Encourage lower consumer water consumption

Reductions in pressure however, have a related impact on customer service levels.  Optimatics helps water authorities find the right balance between adequate levels of service and minimal excess water usage.
