Fixing water leaks will help conserve water in our supply rivers and aquifers, and also reduce costs for ratepayers (for leaks in public plumbing) and property owners (for leaks on private property).
For leaks in public areas, NPDC is investing $289m over 10 years to 2034 to fix the plumbing. This includes finding and repairing leaks on NPDC’s water, wastewater and stormwater assets such as pipes, valves and joints.
Property owners are responsible for fixing leaks that are on their properties.
