Using the correlation method, the area where the defect was located based on the results of measurements and tests was reduced. A more detailed detection revealed noise on the water supply network of very low intensity, due to the very configuration of the terrain and soil, which is gravelly and absorbs sounds, as well as the material of the PVC pipe on which the failure occurred. After the fault was located, the pipeline was dug up and the fault removed.
According to the results of the water meter readings, the average consumption of this business entity in the period before the failure occurred was about 4.6 m33With the occurrence of the malfunction, and based on the reading of the water meter, the consumption increased many times and on a daily basis in 24 hours it amounted to about 83.3 m3.
By repairing the defect, the daily consumption returned to the normal level of about 3.5 m3.
