Limerick City water conservation project - leakage detection
Limerick City Council
Limerick City Council, who are responsible for the treatment and distribution of drinking water within the Limerick City functional area, are implementing a water conservation project.
A particular element of the project is leak detection and repair. To this end, Limerick City Council wish to employ a suitably qualified and experienced service provider to carry out leakage detection in order to achieve set leakage targets.
This leak detection contract will be undertaken within 10 district metered areas (L3, L4,L4A, L6, L7, L10, L11, L12, L13, L14), which comprise approximatley 123 km of water distribution network servicing 16,651 properties.
This leak detection contract will run in tandem with a separate leak repair contract, with an overall aim to reduce current unaccounted for water levels in these areas by approximately 4.6Ml/day over a 9 month period. These savings are then to be maintained or improved upon during a subsequent 3 month maintenance period.
The service provider will be responsible for the location/detection, marking, and reporting of leaks on the trunk and distribution mains (including services) and for the prioritisation and scheduling of repairs. Repairs will be carried out by a contractor appointed to a separate leak repair contract.
The leak detection contract may be extended to include further DMA's and/or trunk mains and the service period may be extended. The option to extend the service shall be at the sole discretion of Limerick City Council and shall be subject to the approval of the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and procurement rules.
