| | Narrative Description of Project |
|---|
The project involved a detailed investigation into the distribution system serving Lagos and assessing water losses from the system. Significant effort was made to identify the location of water mains from available records and anecdotal evidence from the older members of the LSWC Staff. Reports on Leakage and assessments of likely future losses were made.
| | Description of actual services provided by your staff |
|---|
Advanced leak noise correlation equipment was used to identify some of the leakage areas. Much of the work was done with more conventional acoustic sounding equipment. A total of approximately 500 leaks were identified, however because of the low pressures available in the system, it is believed that an additional 1,200 leaks could exist within the system. A separate contract to repair these leaks was prepared. Without the emergency leak repair program, wastage levels of the order of 70 percent of production are predictable.
