Climate Change Adaptation: Did you know that our climate and weather is changing, and the amount of annual precipitation has increased over the past 30 years? You can look at historical data from Greater Sudbury on the Climate Atlas page. With more precipitation and heavier rainfalls, we must be better prepared to manage all that water.Dealing with leaky pipes is a common part of owning a home, and just like our home, the City’s water distribution system is also subject to leaks and breaks.
The City has many large pumps at water/wastewater treatment plants and booster stations that can send pressure waves through the distribution system as they turn on and off. These pressure waves can cause leaks in some weak areas of the system. Treating our water distribution system more gently wherever possible helps minimize leaks. Studies of the City’s water distribution system have led to upgrades and design recommendations to minimize pressure waves.
If you have an upgraded water meter, you can get detailed information about your water usage through the GSU online customer service portal. This new technology provides more reliable and timely data, allows tracking and planning for future water usage, and improves the accuracy of water readings.
