Each year tens of thousands of letters are sent out advising rate payers across Melbourne of unusually high water usage. The most common cause for a spike in your water bill is a sneaky leak.

Leaking toilets, taps and more particularly, leaking underground pipes can waste a significant amount of water, leading to high water bills. For example, a tap that drips once every second will waste up to 33 litres per day. In comparison, a leaking underground water pipe can waste thousands of litres per day and not be visible. Leaks can also cause structural damage to your property and even attract termites.
