A simple monitoring program has been introduced to catch leaks early. This consists of checking the water meter once a week on a Sunday in the early evening to make sure that with everything off the meter dials are stationary. This has already caught one leak caused by a failing toilet cistern inlet valve way before it became noticeable. |

Fitting a pressure reduction valve to the main inlet appears to hold out the promise of the biggest potential savings. |
