Fix leaks promptly. Call KRWA for free help with leak detection. This service is partly funded through Kansas State Water Plan fees. Determine the cause of chronic leaks, such as those from old corroded lines or glue joints, and whether line replacement is necessary. A grant or loan to replace problem areas may be appropriate if the cost is outside your budget.
Lost water is lost money.
If losses are due to underregistering customer meters, you lose revenue on water you paid to deliver. If losses are caused by leaks, you've lost the money it cost to produce or purchase that water. In some cases, curbing large water losses from leaks can save a town or district the cost of finding additional water sources. Wasted water means wasted dollars. Since 1989, KRWA has completed 564 water loss surveys locating an annual loss of 2.387 billion gallons.
