“We are confident that we are on track to deliver on our commitment to reduce leakage by 20% for 2025 and are determined to follow up on our success from the 2015 – 2020 period in having the largest reductions in leakage of all UK water companies.
“We will do this through continuing to use new innovative methods and technologies, such as artificial intelligence and digital networks, to find and fix leaks faster than ever before with the aim to reduce leakage by 50% by 2050.
“We need to stress the importance of reporting leaks, which helps to play a key part to ensure the long-term sustainable supply of water, whilst leaving more in the environment.
“We would also like to thank over 240,000 customers who have signed up to Save Our Streams who helped to get free water-saving devices, tailored water-saving advice and free home water efficiency checks.”
Further reductions in leakage are a key part of Affinity Water’s longer-term plans with the aim to reduce leakage by 50% by 2050.
