Kempsey Shire Council is proud to announce its invitation to participate in Phase 2 of the Regional Network Leakage Detection Project as part of the NSW Government's $12.5 million Regional Leakage Reduction Program. This program is aimed at saving Councils across NSW billions of litres of lost water every year by identifying and fixing leaks in water mains.
The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, Water will work directly with specialist water network leak detection contractors to undertake on-the-ground surveying and identify water leaks in the Kempsey Shire. The specialists will use state-of-the-art technology, including high-powered listening devices, to pinpoint leaks in pipes, meters and valves, allowing Council to act quickly and effectively to fix them.
The program will commence in the coming weeks and there is no cost to the Council for leak detection works, but the cost of repairs will be borne by the Council. This partnership approach is a great opportunity for the Council and the community, and the results will benefit everyone.
Wes Trotter, Group Manager Water and Sewer, encouraged residents to be aware of the program and its objectives.
"We are proud to be part of this important project and are committed to ensuring the best possible services for our residents. This program will help us conserve water and improve the reliability of our water supply, which will have a positive impact on our community."
Specialist leak detection contractors will be walking the streets of Kempsey Shire in the coming weeks, and their work is essential to maintaining the integrity of the water network. The purpose of the program is to promote water conservation and improve the reliability of the water supply for the community.
Kempsey Shire Council is committed to ensuring the best possible services for its residents and is excited to be part of this important project.
