Water Leaks

The Town of Carnduff water meters have the ability to detect leaks. When we read meters each quarter, a report is created letting us know who has or has had a water leak. If a leak is detected at your property, a note will be placed on your water bill.

How does the system detect a leak?

The water meter system breaks a 24 hour period down into 15 minute intervals. Throughout a 24 hour period, tehre are 96 of the 15 minutes intervals. A leak is detected dependent on the number of intervals the meter has water running through it.

Type of Leak

Continuous Leak -- is when there is water running throught he mter in each of the 96 intervals.

Intermittent Leak -- is when there is wawter running through the meter for 50 to 95 of the 96 intervals.

Leak has stopped -- you previulsy had a leak but it has now stopped.
