The article deals with the effective reduction of drinking water loss in its distribution in the territory of the model municipality in the Czech Republic. Loss reduction is a long-term process that is one of the cornerstones of the strategy of each operator or owner of the water supply system. Losses of water in water network characterize not only the construction-technical condition of the distribution system in a given agglomeration, but also one of the business cards of the operator or owner of the distributio...

The paper deals with fluctuations in water pressure and its influence on water losses in the network, depending on the time and height of the building. Water losses, depleted infrastructure life, and rising energy costs are just some of the issues that affect grid pressure. Excessive pressure increases the risk of piping rupture and water leakage in the distribution network and increases the cost of energy that needs to be spent on pumping and producing additional drinking water. Reducing the water pressure in the...
