The Water Board were digging the road up last week not far from my house. They've filled in the holes again now and gone away, but the other day a friend saw a man from the Water Board in the middle of the road with a long tube. He was listening to the flow of water, and he let her have a go!
He was the man who determines where the leaks are, and he was checking to see if the repairs had done the job. He explained that there are stop cocks at various points on the network, so they don't have to turn off water to a lot of properties at once, and that they monitor the flow to see where there might be a problem - and then they send him out to listen. He tends to do it early in the morning when there is less traffic, for obvious reasons!
