Camrosa Water District is partnering with vendor M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. to perform leak detection at locations throughout the District from June 8, 2026 through June 18, 2026. Leak detection is important routine maintenance that improves water use efficiency and assists with maintenance and repair of District infrastructure.
M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. will be using acoustic leak detection to locate any leaks that may be occurring in the District. Acoustic leak detection uses sensitive ground microphones or acoustic listening devices deployed at either the surface level or lower down closer to the pipe. A trained leak detection specialist then uses headphones to listen and isolate the leak sound. Leaks cause vibrations that travel down the pipe, typically creating a “hollow” sound. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. is working throughout the District with a two-person team in a white truck with the M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. logo. You may see them using their equipment, including headphones, to “listen” to water infrastructure. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call here at the Camrosa office at (805) 482-4677.
