Zero pressure tests are part of the City’s rollout of pressure management infrastructure, which allows the City to reduce pressure fluctuations in the network that create stress on pipes over time. This reduces the likelihood of leaks and bursts. The test is done to determine if there are any unmapped inflows into an area, to inform the calibration of a pressure reducing valve, which will be installed at a later date.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.
