Leaks Waste More Than 15 Million Litres Of Water A Day In Hawke's BayLeaky pipes in Napier and Hastings waste more than 15 million litres of water every day, a new report has found. Hastings District Council's network has around 23,000 connections, and it wastes 10,028,000 litres of water daily. Napier City Council's 28,000 drinking water connections are losing 197 litres per connection per day, a total of 5,516,000 litres per day wasted. But he said the council's Water Demand Management Strategy, adopted earlier this year, was a practical roadmap for changing how water was used. Hastings District Council spent $183 per person on capital works and $162 on operational expenditure.
