PORT ANGELES — Six small leaks were found during the city’s annual water line inspection, saving as much as a week’s worth of water.
City Water Superintendent Bill Beverford presented the annual water leak detection report to the city’s Utility Advisory Committee at its regular Tuesday meeting.
This year’s leak detection survey was conducted in May in the area from A to I streets and from West Fifth Street to West U.S. Highway 101.
Extremely sensitive sound amplification instruments and computer-based correlations are used to find otherwise undetectable leaks.
Large leaks are more easily detected and repaired.
