Leakage Economics

Simon has worked within leakage economics for more than 20 years and is a recognised specialist within this field. This has included undertaking Economic Level of Leakage studies for UK and overseas water companies, developing best practice guidelines for Regulators and undertaking independent reviews of company approaches.


Simon has also developed guidelines for the incorporation of external costs (such as environmental and social costs and benefits) within the leakage analysis.


Working with WRc, Simon has developed a UKWIR framework that incorporates an assessment of supply pipe leakage into the Sustainable Economic Leakage.


Simon has also undertaken independent reviews of water company approaches, including leakage estimation, leakage management and leakage target setting. He can also provide bespoke training courses on leakage and/or leakage economics.


Please get in contact to discuss you needs, whether this be a simply independent review of your current approaches or if you are looking to update and develop a new approach.
