In recent years, local authorities have been doubling their vigilance to optimize the drinking water yield of their pipes, by "tracking leaks".
This is the case of the Syndicat des eaux d'Île-de-France, Sedif, which has entrusted the operation of its network to Veolia.
For five years, the number of kilometers of pipes "listened" to detect leaks has doubled.
Result: the percentage of water lost fell from 15% to less than 10% on this network.
