Most of the District’s Conservation efforts have to do with leaks, whether it be our own efforts through leak alerts and detection, measures 2 and 4, or regional efforts to conduct audits and toilet leak detection, measures 9-12. There are 3 ways you might interact with Alderwood Water & Wastewater District to stop leaks.

Your water meter reports the amount of water you use. If the amount of water is unusually high you will receive a message like this in your Water Bill.

Our experienced leak detection staff listen to water pipe flows using correlating data loggers. This technique allows maintenance staff to be more proactive in detecting leaks and reduce service disruptions while they fix pipes. Last year, staff identified and fixed 83 Leaks which save 30 million gallons per year. The District measures its leaks through the Water Efficiency Report.
