Marnie Prickett: Co-author on the Otago University report that found New Zealand's water leaks could be costing millions

Water lost to leaks could be costing New Zealand more than $100 million each year.  Otago University research found across the country, 20% of treated drinking water is lost to leaky pipes, at an estimated cost of $122 million.  Co-author of the report, Marnie Prickett told Mike Hosking that our levels of water loss are much higher than international comparisons.  She says Tokyo loses only 5% of water and US cities lose around 10%, so our levels are significant.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
