Water Audits

Auditing your water supply

A cost-effective way to indicate potential water savings

Water audits determine the amount of water loss in a pipe system. The audits require detailed analysis of the water flow into and out of a water system, usually based upon meter records and flow meter accuracy checks. The comprehensive nature of the audits entails significant effort, especially for large systems.

Zones within a network are isolated individually by turning off the appropriate valves to determine whether excessive leakage exists and the ratio between the night time minimum rate of water use and the average daily rate of water use may be compared to 'normal' ratios or to previously measured ratios of the same system.

In smaller establishments most focus is upon the internal plumbing of the water system, the way that water is stored and how it is used to ensure that water is not being lost through poorly maintained valves, etc.
