Pressure and leakage management involves redesigning the water supply network, dividing large systems into smaller, more manageable networks called district metered areas.
The district metered areas enable management of network pressure using smart technology to minimise leaks and enable cost effective leakage detection and repair.
Logan Water Pressure and Leakage Management Program
The Logan Water Pressure and Leakage Management Program covers the Kimberley Park, Springwood, Marsden and Greenbank water supply zones. The zones will be divided into approximately 40 district metered areas. Download map of water supply zones (pdf).
Logan Water will progressively isolate, test and reduce excessive pressures in these district metered areas over a two-year period, generally working on five district metered areas at a time.
In areas where pressure reduction is applied, Logan Water will install equipment with smart technology that will enable water pressure to increase and decrease according to demand. Pressure is reduced incrementally over a period of time, and the work is carried out during low demand periods, such as late night and early morning.
Please note: Residents will be notified 48 hours before water supply shutdowns occur. Generally, residents will notice little, if any, effect on day-to-day activities in the home.
