DEWA reminds its customers of the importance of promptly detecting & fixing water leakages

Dubai, UAE: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has reiterated the importance of conducting periodic checks on internal water connections and potential leak sites in homes, buildings and facilities, to check internal connections and repair any leaks in water connections immediately with the help of a specialised technician. This is part of its efforts to establish a culture of sustainability among society members. This will help preserve natural resources, and prevent water waste and any property damage. DEWA indicated that its scope of responsibility for connections and maintenance is limited to the meter only, while the responsibility for the internal connections after the meter rests with the customer, and this includes the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.

DEWA said that the possibility of leakages can be monitored through smart water meters, or if the utility bill is higher than previous ones. Customers can also monitor for water spots or leakages on the floors, walls and ceiling of the house or around the washing machine and kitchen areas. These can be due to leaking pipes and internal connections due to lack of maintenance. Water tank leakages can occur due to damage to the tank body, pipes or wrongful installation. Laundry rooms and
