Keep an eye out for leaks this summer

Hot weather can put extra stress on underground pipes, sometimes leading to breaks or leaks. Check your own property for leaks with our guide on how to detect and report a leak.

If you notice anything amiss, like water pooling or running down the road, please report it on our faults map.
