What are we doing to save water?

Every drip we stop

Bristol Water finds and fixes 10,000 leaks every year, and we’re investing in our teams to find more leaks and get them fixed quicker. We're also committed to upgrading our network to make it more leak proof in the future.

Meet our leak listeners

If you see someone in a high-vis jacket listening to a manhole with a stick, it's probably one of our leak listeners. Our team are specially trained to track down leaks and get them fixed. If you spot a leak, help us by reporting it.

Helping you fix leaks at home

We take care of leaks out in the street, but if your supply pipe bursts on your property, it's your responsibility to get it fixed. Our Leakstop scheme can help you find and fix it quickly. With a free leak detection service, help and advice, and up to £100 towards the repair.
