Saint John Water has several ambitious projects in the works which include reducing the amount of water lost through leaks. Brent McGovern of Saint John Water says just one leak can cause a huge amount of water to be wasted. As an example he points to a one kilometer stretch of pipe near Lakewood Heights where 22 milion litres of water is being lost each day. According to McGovern, district metering will allow the city to get a better handle on where the leaks are occurring and take remedial action. Saint John Water also plans to install larger pipes to facilitate residential development in Millidgeville.
