How do I know how big a water leak is?
- Use your water bill – Divide the additional litres used in the billing period (usually 94 days if billed quarterly) by 24 for the number of hours in the day, then divide again by 60 for litres per minute.
- Read your water meter – Changing numbers or spinning dials when no plumbing fixtures are in use is a sign of a likely water leak. When there are 4 red numbers, the last red number is a 10th of 1 litre. When there are 3 red numbers, the last red number is 1 litre. Using a stopwatch, measure how long it takes for the last number to rotate to the next number.
What are the most common causes of water leaks in Canberra and Queanbeyan?
- Flexible hoses connected to toilets and taps can drip slowly for a very long time or burst suddenly.
- Buried pipes and fittings reacting with the soil or rubbing against abrasive substances such as rocks and bricks.
- Pinholes in pipes and fittings in walls caused by nails, over-flexing at bends and joints or chemical reaction when in contact with non-compatible building materials.
