Drawdown times

The graph below gives an idea of the leak situation from 2021-2024. Shown is how long the pump is off for the longest period of time each day. Usually this is during the night, and sometimes in the afternoon.

These times indicate how long it takes for the tank level to drop from the high level sensor (when the pump stops), to the low level sensor (when the pump starts again). During times assumed to have very little water use by residents, the tank water level dropping can be assumed to be due to leakage or waste – either in the mains or on private property.

Longer times indicate less leakage.

Using the volume of water between the sensors for pump off and on, and the number of minutes from pump off to on, we can estimate gallons lost per minute. If that loss is applied to 24 hours, we can estimate the volume lost to leakage in a day. Comparing that amount to total water production shows that actual water use is very low.

The difference between estimated leakage and actual production averages out to about 76 cubic meters (approx. 20,000 USG) per day. Using a population of 425 gives a more realistic personal water use of 178 litres per day per person. Canadian average is 233 litres per day. (StatsCan 2021)
