Active Leak Detection Work in Yass Water Supply System

Leak detection work in water reticulation will commence in the week of 19 June 2023. Leak detection work is through Regional Leakage Reduction Programme run by Department of Planning & Environment. 

Phase 2 of the Regional Network Leakage Detection Project is part of the NSW Government’s $12.5 million Regional Leakage Reduction Program which has already seen more 2,700 kilometres of water mains surveyed and more than 930 leaks found, saving Councils over billions of litres of lost water this year alone.  

Yass Valley Council will repair leaks identified through this work.  Leak detection works will cover approximately 188km of water mains in Yass, Murrumbateman, Bowning and Binalong and expected to take approximately 16 weeks to complete.  

Water Intelligence Australia is engaged by the Department to carry-out leak detection work. Council requests cooperation of residents while accessing water mains in private properties and water meters during this work. 

Please contact Council at 6226 1477 or council@yass.nsw.gov.au for any queries.
