Non-Invasive System Assessments for Douglas County, Nevada

We provide leak surveys for water distribution systems and commercial properties throughout Douglas County, Nevada. Using non-invasive detection, we locate failures before excavation or other invasive work begins. We serve Northern Nevada with more than 40 years of industry experience.

This service supports organizations and operators responsible for distribution systems:

Water districts
General improvement districts
Water companies
Commercial property operators

Douglas County operates a Water Utility division under Public Works to provide potable water and preserve county water resources. The county also contains multiple separate regulated public water systems, each with its own operational responsibilities.

Call (775) 241-4286 to discuss the distribution area, system concerns, and objectives for your survey.

Leak Location & Diagnostic Reporting

We locate detected failures before invasive work begins, minimizing disruption and giving operators a defined area to consider when planning excavation or repairs.

A leak survey evaluates a planned portion of a distribution system for physical water loss. It differs from a single-point detection call, which focuses on a suspected failure at a particular location. After completing the work, we provide a definitive diagnostic report documenting our findings.

Survey findings can inform several operational decisions:

Repair prioritization: Operators can evaluate detected locations when determining which failures require attention.
Loss management: Findings can inform efforts to address physical losses that contribute to non-revenue water.
Further investigation: Documentation can identify areas that warrant additional review.

Non-revenue water includes water produced but not billed because of physical losses, metering inaccuracies, or other causes. Douglas County tracks unaccounted-for water by sub-system in its water conservation planning, making system-level findings relevant to broader water utility operations.

Planning a Douglas County Leak Survey

To define the requested scope, we typically review:

The system area of concern
Recent usage or pressure observations
Available system records
The operator’s survey objective
Distribution assets and access conditions

Our Know Before You Go approach provides information about detection charges before work begins, preventing surprise detection fees at the end of the visit. The contact form provides another way to share initial engagement details.

Call (775) 241-4286 to request leak survey information and discuss the system records, access conditions, and operational concerns involved.

What a Water Distribution Leak Survey Examines

Survey planning begins by defining the distribution assets and service area to be assessed. Known problem areas, pressure behavior, and access conditions can help establish priorities without assuming that any single observation confirms a leak.

Douglas County Utilities operates water and sewer systems across distinct operation areas as part of its enterprise fund. A planned assessment can cover a broader area within these systems, another regulated public system, or a commercial distribution network rather than focusing on one suspected point.

Documenting Detected Failure Locations

When we detect a failure, we identify its exact coordinates before invasive work begins. We then provide a definitive diagnostic report that operators can use to evaluate repair work or determine whether further investigation is warranted.

Repair methods, schedules, costs, and responsibility depend on the system’s condition and the operator’s decisions. Where applicable to the service line, we can explain repair options after detection and connect clients with reputable local repair resources. Our findings remain focused on the detected location so the operator can determine the appropriate next step.
