(a) - (w) The Water Corporation is not able to provide quarterly values for "Water Lost by Leaks" for the periods requested. Meter reading cycles, and hence, water loss calculations do not coincide with this frequency. Analysis and reporting is done annually.
State-wide real water loss values (as calculated based on the Water Services Association of Australia approved formula utilised for the National Performance Report) on a financial year basis are shown below.
