The Hidden Cost Of Water Leaks

Every day in the U.S., an estimated 6 billion gallons of water is lost due to leaks in our water distribution systems. That’s enough to meet the needs of 60 million people—and it’s not just your water that’s being lost.

At M.E. Simpson Co., Inc., we work with water utilities across the country to help identify, quantify, and reduce these losses through professional leak detection services. And while a single leak might seem insignificant, the true cost of water loss tells a different story.

When treated water escapes through leaking pipes, municipalities lose more than just a resource—they lose revenue, energy, and trust.
