Makes more sense to fix the leaks.


Thats been done.

Thames water are losing 693 million litres of water *per day* through
leaks in their pipes. (2011 - 2012 estimated figures), out of a total of
2,600 million litres supplied. That's about a quarter of the supply just
leaking away into the ground.

Other water boards here lose about the same percentage.
