Summary/Abstract: Water consumption is constantly increasing, mainly due to population growth, and resources are unfortunately shrinking. It becomes necessary to save water. There are many forms of saving water by protecting its resources, e.g. limiting leaks (generating water losses) both in the installation and on the water supply network, limiting unreasonable needs (e.g. multiple use of packaging or other objects), use of rainwater. The article presents the possibilities offered by the metering of the entire water supply network and water consumption at consumers. For the assumed zone supplying a housing estate inhabited by about 2,200 people, the coefficient of unavoidable losses was determined.
