Like a Surgeon: Water Board Vets Listen for Leaks

By /

Today Civil Beat‘s published the second part of the series about the state of the Board of Water Supply. I went out with some of the folks in the leak detection program and got to see the technology they use to find leaks before they turn into major main breaks.

It’s pretty cool stuff, and the BWS says it saves 500 million gallons of water a year.
