The key item we heard from Scottish Water and Welsh Water last week was that it is not necessary to have domestic water meters to find leaks in people's homes, which is the perception that existed. Can the witnesses confirm that is the case and that individual leaks in households can be found through district metering and the mechanisms that exist in sonar technology for finding where the water is leaking?
