District metering technique<br />

ASM decided to divide the network into a number of small zones called<br />

districts that has proved by experience in different parts of the world, to be the<br />

most efficient method of controlling leakage. Then, permanently closing the<br />

boundary valves and installing flow meters on the few supplying mains can<br />

continuously monitor the level of leakage. If an increase is registered in the<br />

night consumption, a team is sent in to locate the leaks. In this way, leakage<br />

is under permanent control, but intervention occurs only at the optimum<br />

moment.<br />
