Step Test Sectoring in Langley

When the question is "which zone of the network is losing water," step testing is the right answer. By systematically closing valves and watching flow at a central meter, we isolate the zone containing active leakage, then progressively narrow to specific main segments before deploying acoustic methods on the suspect section. This is the workhorse method behind utility-scale leak reduction programs, and it scales from a small commercial property's loop to a municipal district metered area.

What acoustic leak detection typically finds in Langley

Distribution-main investigations on rural sections of the network, large common-property leaks on acreage.

Langley's built environment — newer single-family subdivisions in Willoughby, agricultural and acreage in the ALR, historic riverside character in Fort Langley — shapes how step test sectoring is delivered locally. Langley (City + Township) blends rapid suburban expansion in Willoughby with large ALR acreages further east. Many properties run on private wells and septic, and irrigation on large lots is a frequent source of unexplained water loss.
