Newmarket, ON conducts Leak Detection Program trial using newly installed water meters

Newmarket, ON Leak Detection Program Water Meters Trial

In Progress

Newmarket is replacing all of its residential and commercial meters with wireless devices for more accurate readings. The Leak Detection Program monitors water consumption data at select addresses with new meters for continuous use or usage spikes. Suspected leaks lead to outreach by the town to affected addresses for timely repairs. Local officials estimate CAD 400 in savings per fixed leak and an average repair time of five days compared to 120 days with manual inspections.

Project Succeeded

Town officials reported water savings of 56,000 cubic meters in the pilot's first few months.
