JEDDAH - The National Water Company (NWC) has said that 20 percent of Jeddah's water supply is lost to leaks in the network.
NWC Chief Executive Luwai Bin Muslim said that despite the figure, the company had made considerable advances in addressing a large percentage of leakages.
"We've installed new valves which have helped improve the supply to homes, and we've recently brought into service a state-of-the-art leak-detection vehicle to locate otherwise invisible leaks," Bin Muslim said.
According to Bin Muslim, the vehicle came into service in February this year and uses helium technology to spot underground leaks.
"It's the first time this technology has been used in the Middle East," he said. "It has already helped detect seven leaks in a network of no longer than five kilometers."
