Wells & water/ CALCULATOR

Water lost through a leak

Turn an observed leak flow and daily duration into water volume and an estimated bill impact.

Observed leak flowL/minCatch the leak in a measured container, or use the change on a water meter over a timed interval.

Hours leaking per dayh/dayUse 24 for a continuous leak or the estimated daily duration for an intermittent fault.

Billing or observation perioddaysUse the number of days over which you want to estimate the loss.

Combined water and wastewater pricecurrency/m³Add both volumetric charges when wastewater is billed from metered water use.

Water lost per day

360.0 L/day

Water lost in selected period

10.80 m³

Estimated selected-period cost

Annual loss if unchanged

The measured flow and daily duration stay constant. The price is a simple volumetric rate; fixed fees, tariff tiers, minimum bills, leak allowances and damage costs are excluded. Isolate the fixture or branch and repair an unexplained continuous flow promptly.
