Leak detection in Greater Manchester is the provision of water leak detection services in Greater Manchester, a county in England. ADI Leak Detection publishes Greater Manchester as a service area and its coverage data lists 67 settlements in the county, of which eight have a dedicated ADI location page.[1] Four of ADI's 22 published engineers list Greater Manchester among the areas they cover.[4][5][6][7] It has the second largest settlement list of the 70 counties ADI covers.
Water supply and regulation[edit]
Water and sewerage services in Greater Manchester are provided principally by United Utilities.[2] Water company supply areas are set by appointment and do not follow county boundaries, so the company serving a given property in Greater Manchester depends on its location rather than on the county alone. Plumbing and water fittings in England and Wales are governed by the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, which water undertakers enforce and which set the standard leak investigation and repair work is carried out to.[3]
Towns and cities covered[edit]
ADI publishes a dedicated location page for eight of the 67 settlements its coverage data records in Greater Manchester: Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport and Wigan.[1] The remaining settlements are within the county ADI publishes as a service area but do not have a page of their own, so the list above is what ADI publishes rather than the limit of where it works.
ADI coverage[edit]
Four of the 22 engineers ADI publishes list Greater Manchester among the counties they cover: Matthew Barron (Wakefield, West Yorkshire), Robert Gires (Cudworth, South Yorkshire), Paul Hope (Swinton, Greater Manchester) and Brett Steele (Halifax, West Yorkshire).[4][5][6][7] Each engineer's coverage is taken from the county list published on their own ADI profile; the county is not necessarily worked in full by every engineer listed. That places Greater Manchester 31st of 70 by number of covering engineers.
