Reducing water leakage

Anglian Water Technician checking for leaks

The impact of hotter, drier summers, combined with a growing population, will increase the demand for water in our region.

Managing water resources efficiently is a key business goal. Our leakage rates are consistently almost half the industry average and we strive continually to improve our performance. Two-thirds of the water lost due to leaks is within our network, the remainder is lost from customers pipes, on which we will fix leaks on a one-off basis as part of our Watertight Promise.

Our performance

Industry average for 2009/10 is 10.9 m3/km/day.

This years figures reflects our commitment to maintaining water supplies to homes and businesses in the severe winter weather. Leakage levels quickly returned to below seasonal levels and remain amongst the lowest in our sector.

Our Draft Water Resources Management Plan describes how we propose to maintain a secure balance between water supplies and demands throughout the region.

Promoting metering

Currently 68% of our households now use water meters. We are promoting the choice of having a meter, to save water and perhaps money too. We believe metering is the fairest way to pay for water and it helps us promote water efficiency and conservation. Find out more about water meters and how much you could save.
