LeakFinderRT Discovers Gusher

This was a leak discovered on an 8" Ductile Iron water main using the Echologics LeakFinderRT. A DMA (district metered area) indicated that 900l/min was being lost. This was a full circumferential break and it accounted for approximately 2/3 of the total loss in that area. The water was draining into a nearby sewer and it is not known how long it was running for before the issue was found.
