Authorize the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) to enter into a contract
with American Leak Detection, Inc. (VC #388478-8001), New Haven, CT, in the amount of $341,280 in
order to conduct leak detection surveys at 77 New Hampshire community water systems, effective upon
Governor and Council approval through November 30, 2025. 100% Federal Funds.
Funding is available in the account as follows.

EXPLANATION
The purpose of the project is to complete leak detection surveys at New Hampshire community water
systems. Leak detection and repair play a fundamental role in reducing water and energy consumption in
water systems through the identification and reduction of water loss and waste.
In June 2023, NHDES sent leak detection project solicitations to all community water systems in New
Hampshire. Seventy-seven water systems submitted applications with relevant details, such as a proposed
project description and demonstration of need. Members of the NHDES Drinking Water and Groundwater
Bureau reviewed the applications and selected all 77 water systems to be included in the Request for
Proposals (RFP).
N HDES posted the RFP for leak detection firms to place competitive bids for completing the leak detection
surveys at the 77 water systems. Three proposals were received. A three -person review team consisting
of experienced NHDES personnel scored the proposals in terms of adequacy of approach, qualifications
and experience, cost, survey completion times, and overall project understanding. See Attachment A for
a summary of the scoring.
The proposal submitted by American Leak Detection, Inc. (ALD) provided clear plans describing how
different leak detection techniques would be utilized and specifically considered the pipe materials and
contact point spacing within the water systems. ALD was awarded a similar leak detection contract in
www.des.nh.gov

2022; therefore, the review team was also able to consider prior experiences with the firm. ALD's
experience and approach ensure a maximum return on investment in the form of water loss recovery and
energy savings.
ALD will complete leak detection surveys at 77 water systems during the 2024 and 2025 field seasons. The
surveys will be conducted in accordance with the "Manual of Water Supply Practices, Water Audits and
Loss Control Programs" document identification number AWWA M36, American Water Works
Association, 2016. Surveys will be performed in 2 phases: an initial screening of the area to identify
suspected leaks, followed by a pinpointing phase to locate the suspected leaks. A detailed report of the
findings will be filed with NHDES and the water system at the conclusion of each survey. It will be the
responsibility of the water system to repair any leaks found.
This contract has been approved as to form, substance, and execution by the Office of the Attorney
General. In the event that Federal funds no longer become available, General funds will not be requested
to support this program.
We respectfully request your approval.

ALD — Leak Detection Survey Project
Page 7 of 12
Communication with Water Systems
At least 2 weeks prior to field work commencing for this project, ALD shall email all water systems participating in
the project in order to introduce the firm, provide contact information for the firm's personnel, and provide a
tentative schedule for the field work.
ALD shall contact each water system prior to their leak detection survey to schedule a starting date for the leak
detection survey and to request the following:
• A map of the distribution system that clearly shows the areas of the water system to be surveyed and the
system characteristics, such as the locations of the mains and contact points.
• The name, phone number, and email address of the water system representative that shall be the point of
contact for the leak detection survey.
• That valve and service boxes are painted and/or cleaned out to facilitate the leak detection survey and
operation of valves.
ALD shall schedule the leak detection survey and provide reasonable accommodation of the water system
representative's availability both before the survey (to conduct the necessary preparatory work) and during the
survey. ALD shall work with the water system representative to determine when the water system representative
will be available for the leak detection survey and if the water system representative would like to accompany
ALD staff during any portions of the leak detection survey.
ALD shall meet with the water system representative prior to starting the leak detection survey at each water
system and go over the following with the water system representative:
• The anticipated leak detection survey process and methodology.
• The maps provided to ALD.
• The areas of the distribution system to be surveyed.
• Days or hours ALD plans to be onsite to complete the leak detection survey.
• Days or times water system staff will join ALD for the leak detection survey.
• The field technician's needs, such as the identification of curb stops.
• Contact information for the water system representative.
• Communication expectations.
ALD shall check in with the water system representative daily and provide at least the following:
• A summary of the work completed and findings in the field. If necessary or per the water system
representative's request, ALD shall review the results in the field with the water system representative.
• Changes to the leak detection survey schedule.
Completion of Leak Detection Surveys
The completion of a leak detection survey is based on the successful completion of the following 3 tasks for each
water system listed in the above table:
Task 1-- Initial Listening Survey
ALD shall arrive on site at the mutually agreed upon date and time for the leak detection survey following
coordination with the water system representative.
ALD shall utilize specialized equipment to "listen" for sounds on the water mains as well as on a
comprehensive spread of direct contact points including, but not limited to, main line gate valves, fire
hydrants, meter/curb valves, and blow -offs.

ALD — Leak Detection Survey Project
Page 8 of 12
Listening intervals shall be no more than 500 feet for metallic pipe and no more than 150 feet for non-metallic
pipe. In areas where pipe will only carry sound through a short distance, such as on certain non-metallic pipe,
and appurtenances are not close enough to capture the sound when listened on, a ground microphone shall
be used to surface sound at 6-10-foot intervals, and every contact point shall be listened on.
A test rod and/or resonance plate shall be used with the ground microphone in instances where the main is
located more than 3 feet off a hard surface.
If the curb stop cannot be located, if available, a silcock shall be listened on. This step is especially important
for mobile home parks.
in areas where a cross-country water main is longer than 500 feet, but the conditions exist where a correlator
may capture the sound, ALD shall use electronic digital leak noise correlators.
In high traffic areas, noise correlators may be left overnight to listen for leaks when noise is at its lowest and
pressures are at their highest.
Task 2 -- Secondary Listening Survey and Pinpointing Phase
All areas identified during the initial listening survey as having potential leak activity shall be scheduled for a
secondary listening survey and pinpointing phase.
In areas where a potential leak is detected, ALD shall first confirm the locations of mains using maps and/or
pipe locators. ALD shall then perform an intensified pattern of sonic tests directly over the mains to identify
the location of the leak. Electronic digital leak noise correlators may be used as a pinpointing tool, but a
ground microphone shall be used to confirm all leak locations.
In the case where a leak is suspected to be associated with a hydrant, ALD shall contact the water system
representative before operating the hydrant. Then, the hydrant shall be valved off, and additional listening on
the water mains and contact points in the vicinity shall be conducted to rule out other types of leaks.
Information about the leak and leak location shall be noted for the leak report, and the coordinates of the
leak location shall be taken on -site.
The estimation of the leakage rate shall be made based on a combination of decibels caused by the leak, the
pipe material, and visual signs.
Task 3 — Reports
Leak Reports:
ALD shall provide the water system representative with a leak report no later than one day after pinpointing
a leak.
The leak report shall include at least the following:
• Date the leak was pinpointed;
• Photograph of the leak location;
• Nearest address/cross street of the leak location;
• Latitude/Longitude of the leak location;

• Leak type (main, valve, hydrant, service, etc.);
• Estimated leakage rate in gallons per minute (GPM), gallons per day (GPD), and gallons per year (GPY);
• Whether there was visible water (Yes/No);
• Ground cover type at the leak location;
• Pipe material (if known or indicated on the distribution system map); and
• Pipe diameter (if known or indicated on the distribution system map).
Final Survey Report:
No later than 2 weeks from the completion date of the leak detection survey, a final survey report shall be
emailed to the water system representative with NHDES copied.
The final survey report shall include at least the following:
• A cover page;
• A summary of the leak detection survey, including at least the following:
o A description of the specific methodology and types of equipment used during the leak
detection survey,
o A map or detailed description of the areas of the distribution system that were surveyed,
o The number of miles surveyed,
o The percentage of the distribution system that was surveyed,
o The specific dates the leak detection survey took place,
a The total number of leaks found,
o The number of each type of leak found,
o The total leakage rate for all leaks found,
o A description of difficult areas to survey, and
o Recommendations to address the difficult areas to survey or to improve future leak detection
surveys (ex. need to better locate certain portions of water main);
The leak report for each leak as outlined above; and
A table summarizing the total number of leaks by type and the total leakage rate by leak type.
Before the final survey report is issued to the first -completed water system, ALD shall provide NHDES with a
copy of that report for review. NHDES shall provide ALD with written comments about revisions that are
needed for the report to ensure that the requirements summarized in this section of the Agreement are met.
Leak Summary Table:
Upon completion of the leak detection surveys at all of the water systems, a Microsoft Excel document with
editing capabilities shall be submitted to NHDES. The document shall contain a list of all leaks found for the
project. Each leak shall have a row, which shall contain the following information:
• Water system name;
• Date the leak was pinpointed;
• Nearest address/cross street;
• Latitude/longitude;
• Leak type;
• Estimated leakage rate in GPM;
• Whether there was visible water;
• Ground cover type;
• Pipe material; and
• Pipe diameter.

THE ORIGINAL LEAK SPECIALISTS'
OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY
American Leak Detections (ALD) is a consulting company specialized in water loss control -
water loss management is the sole focus of ALD's services.
Water loss management requires an in-depth understanding of many aspects of a water
utility's organization and operations. Our wide range of knowledge and skill set enables us to
provide the most effective water loss assessment for you.
ALD and our team are uniquely equipped to assist the City of Clermont in achieving increased
efficiency through the reduction of water losses on the distribution system.
City of Clermont is requesting services for a comprehensive leak detection survey of
approximately 30 miles of the water distribution network.
The system consists of approximately 30 miles of mainly non-metallic pipework. The purpose
of the survey is to locate water leaks throughout the water network. The City of Clermont can
then proceed with the necessary repair of the located leaks to stop excessive water losses in
the system.
The identification and repair of leaks in the distribution system will reduce water losses in the
city which will increase cost savings and prevent unnecessary strain on the water network.
The surveys will be completed by experienced leakage technicians making use of a variety of
specialized acoustic leak detection equipment.
The leak survey process entails various phases
✓ leak identification
✓ leak confirmation
✓ leak location
for which different types of equipment may be necessary. ALD utilizes state -of -the art acoustic
equipment such as sounding devices, microphones, digital correlators, and loggers.
The survey requires the acoustic and visual inspection of all water meters, without skipping
any available appurtenance regardless of proximity to another inspected appurtenance. This
type of leak survey is the most effective method to located all acoustically detectable leaks. Ii
is especially important to follow this survey methodology in a system like the City of Clermont.
The identification of leaks in non-metallic pipes by acoustic methods is more complex because
sound does not travel as far as it does through metallic pipes. Therefore, sounding all water
meters and available appurtenances is key to ensure that all detectable leaks are identified.
In these circumstances we shall also surface sound every 10-12ft using ground microphones.
Where PRV's are present extra consideration should be taken in order to nullify the noise
created by the apparatus. We shall liaise with our clients in order to see if it is possible to shut

the PRV's whilst we are testing in these areas or shall measure the sound created in order to
remove these from any correlations.
Through our extensive experience conducting leak detection work throughout the US and UK,
ALD has developed successful strategies to overcome the challenges that may arise during
this type of field work. Some of the challenges of this type of work may include high noise or
high traffic areas, other sources of noise, incomplete information on the mapping system, and
complex pipe networks, among others. Employing a variety of strategies and equipment with
distinct capacities, detailed review of maps, discussions with utility personnel, adjusting work
hours, and repeat visits at different times are some of the general strategies that we use to
guarantee the most possible accurate result. Each location surveyed and each potential leak
noise is approached with the unique strategy that is most appropriate for that location's
conditions.

PROJECT APPROACH
The project involves performing a detailed leak detection survey on approximately 30 miles of
the water distribution system comprised of predominately PVC pipework.
All water meters and accessible appurtenances will be sounded during the survey. Prior to
performing the field survey, ALD technicians will review infrastructure maps and then
coordinate with the City of Clermont the most appropriate plan and route for the survey.
During planning ALD may request for the City of Clermont to identify any areas that may
require special City of Clermont consideration such as high -risk areas, gated communities,
and sensitive or high -use customers. The project will commence with a kick-off meeting with
project and utility staff to discuss the suggested project approach and coordinate logistics.
Upon agreement of approach and logistics, the ALD technicians will commence the field work.
ALD will attend meetings a set out by the city to discuss progress, projected work, support
needed from the City of Clermont, and any other questions that may arise during the survey.
The field work is generally performed in two phases: first, there is a general surveying phase
where all assets are surveyed and second, there is a leak confirmation and pinpointing phase,
where potential leak noises are verified and located. With some leaks the two steps may be
performed within the same work session, but other noises in more complicated settings may
need additional work sessions, additional equipment, or both to be verified and pinpointed.
The exact methods used for leak detection will vary across the area and will be dependent on
the following: -
✓ Available pressure in the system
✓ Pipe material
✓ Availability of fittings
✓ Levels of commercial consumption
✓ Diurnal consumption patterns
✓ Ground conditions
✓ Water quality issues
✓ Extraneous noise within the system
ALD will provide as a minimum;
✓ Management support
✓ High specification of equipment
✓ Flexibility
✓ Excellent levels of customer care and
support
✓ High levels of Health and Safety training
and awareness

✓ Good working understanding of pressure management
✓ Acoustic logging and an understanding of associated data
✓ Ability/experience to undertake zone validation exercises, PST's etc.
✓ Understanding of DMA data
✓ Skills to undertake trunk main surveys and balances
✓ Ability to undertake commercial water audits
All of our technicians have worked on both large- and small-scale Leak Detection framework
agreements and are fully committed to providing a first-class service at all times.
During the initial survey work, ALD's leak detection technicians will use an acoustic leak
sounding device to come into contact with meters, service connections, hydrants, and valves
throughout the water distribution system to listen for any possible leak noise. If there is a leak
in the surrounding area, the electronic equipment amplifies the noise generated by the leak
and the technician is alerted that there is a leak. When the technicians hear a potential leak
noise and there are no visible signs of a leak, such as water on the surface, all potential leak
noises are verified either with an alternate method or at a later time.
During the leak verification process, the technicians work to confirm that the noise is caused
by a leak and to identify a more exact location of the leak. Depending on the complexity in
locating the leak, a leak noise correlator, noise loggers, or a ground-mic may be used. This
phase may also require assistance from the City of Clermont either to open hydrants, operate
valves, or shut-off water service to a particular customer. ALD will inform the City of Clermont
by weekly emails of any type of assistance requested from the City of Clermont for this
purpose. If the noise is confirmed as a leak noise and upon pinpointing the leak location, the
ALD technician will mark the location of the leak as agreed with the City of Clermont and
generate a leak report documenting the location and any other relevant information.

ALD understands that the City of Clermont will confirm the leak location with their own crew.
ALD will re- survey if there are any conflicting results. In addition, if the utility is having trouble
locating the reported leak, ALD technicians can assist in locating the leak during the
excavation process.
In the event that ALD technicians cannot perform the survey during normal business hours
due to traffic congestion, ambient noise, or safety concerns, the City of Clermont will be
contacted to determine if off -hours surveying, or overnight logging is appropriate. ALD will
seek approval from the City of Clermont prior to execution of any off -hours work at no
additional cost.
ALD will communicate general project progress and report located leaks.
■ Each week ALD will provide a daily summary of miles surveyed, number and type of
leaks detected and estimated loss. Individual Leak Sheets for each confirmed leak will
be submitted indicating type of leak (main, valve, hydrant, etc.), leak location (address
if available), geographic coordinates, estimated leak flow, map of leak location, and
photographs.
■ A Final Report will be provided for each survey round that will include a summary of
the work performed, approximate GPD loss, types of leaks found, quantity of leaks
found and recommendations.

Work Plan
Methodology
Scope of works — Leak Detection Surveys
In order to tackle leakage in the most cost-effective manner it is imperative that the correct
method of leakage detection is used. Often a mix of techniques will be required to meet
objectives. The main methods we tend to adopt are; -
Open Sounding: This can take the form of either mains sounding or blanket sounding,
where all fittings are sounded, including customer stop -taps. This method is time-consuming
but can be very effective on non-metallic systems or poor pressure areas. Correlation will be
used to accurately position the leaks.
Leak Noise Correlation: Leak noise correlation is used to accurately pinpoint any leaks.
This method is able to detect the sound and vibration of water escaping from a hole or
fracture in the pipe using acoustics. By understanding the velocity of noise in any particular
pipe and taking record of the pipe material, length and diameter, we are able to accurately
locate the position of leaks on the pipeline.
Acoustic Logging: to include technologies such as `lift and shift', permanent installations
and correlating loggers. This method can be used to great effect on most networks and can
reduce survey times significantly in some areas. The main areas where this method has
limitations is in areas of high consumption, areas with a high level of MDPE, HDPE or PVC
and areas where there are few mains fittings.
Ground Microphone: Ground Microphones are particularly useful for pinpointing leaks,
especially in non-metallic networks or where noise is minimal. Where conventional methods
such as correlators cannot be use, the ground microphone can be used as a survey tool as
this equipment can detect noises at very low frequency and decibel.
Hydrogen/Nitrogen or Helium Gas Injection: Will only be used where other methods have
not been effective.
Inert gases such as Hydrogen and Helium can be fed into the pipeline to either mix with the
water directly. Where leaks are present the gas will escape with the water and due to it
being lighter than air, will find its way to the surface. We will use specialist tracing tools to
locate the gas and therefore pinpoint the leak. This approach is particularly useful in non-
metallic networks or low-pressure areas where leak noise is minimal.
Step -testing: enables areas of leakage to be narrowed down through a number of valve
operations and noting the resultant drops on the meter. This enables areas of possible
leakage to be localised quickly and therefore survey times reduced. As a company, we
favour a slightly different method to standard step -testing, where areas are completely
isolated for a period of time leaving customers with no water. Our method is to shut out an

area, check the drop on the meter and then get the area opened up and the process repeated.
This ensures that customers are out of water for the shortest possible time. However, we are
happy to adopt any practices the client sees fit. The main drawbacks with all methods of step -
testing are the possible problems with water quality, poor condition of SV's (do not hold), all
work has to be done at night and interruptions to customers supplies.
The exact methods used for leak detection will vary across the area and will be dependent
on the following: -
• Available pressure in the system
• Pipe material
• Availability of fittings
• Levels of commercial consumption
• Diurnal consumption patterns
• Ground conditions
• Water quality issues
• Extraneous noise within the system
• Current level of losses
A key area of leak detection is to ensure the completeness of repairs and that the leaks can
be accurately prioritised for repair thus enabling those with the larger volumes to be repaired
first. This can be achieved by shutting out all mains leaks at night noting the drop on the district
or zonal meter and therefore quantifying the volume.
We must always ensure all staff are adequately trained, both in terms of correlation and pipe
tracing, all equipment is regularly checked for accuracy and that all GIS systems are updated
when anomalies are found. We possess our own system of regular assessment and
equipment audits that ensures that dry holes are kept to a minimum.
Method for Determining Leak Noise
In order to ascertain how far leak noise can travel in any material it is necessary to
create a noise within the network and use a correlator to trace this noise. The distance
can then be increased to the point that the correlator can no longer receive this noise.
This can be achieved by either slightly opening a fire hydrant or by creating a noise
through percussion directly onto a mains fitting.
Estimation of Leak Volume
The volume of water lost through leaks is estimated by the field engineer. This is
based on the decibels caused by the leak, the pipe material together with any visual
signs.

DRUG AND ALCHOL POLICY
American Leak Detection has a zero -tolerance approach to the misuse of drugs or alcohol
and employees should not report to work under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
There is evidence that the effects of drinking or drug use or abuse can reduce personal
performance and potentially increase absence rates. In jobs where safety is paramount, such
as the transport industry, any form of drug or alcohol related problem is a very serious matter
and, in some circumstances, may be a criminal
offence.
The scope of this policy extends to alcohol, illicit drugs or substances and over-the-counter or
prescription medication if abused or taken in an irresponsible manner.
ALD reserve the right to request that an employee submit to a drug test if there is reasonable
suspicion that he or she is under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs.
Associated hazards
Impairment of co-ordination.
Inability to drive or use equipment safely.
Lack of awareness, judgment and sense of danger.
Employer's responsibilities
American Leak Detection will: -
• Seek to identify problems at an early stage and thus minimise the risk posed to the
health and safety of employees and others.
• Ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place to minimise the likelihood of
alcohol, drugs and substance abuse occurring.
• Recognise that drug and alcohol problems are medical conditions that are potentially
treatable.
• Treat all information in the strictest of confidence.
Disciplinary procedures
If an alcohol or drug related problem comes to light that results in unacceptable
behaviour or performance it may be dealt with in accordance with our disciplinary or
capability procedures.
Behaviour or performance which is found to be unacceptable and related to alcohol or
drug abuse, may, depending on the circumstances of the individual case, result in
summary dismissal.
Employee's responsibilities
Employees must: -
• Not attend for work at any time whilst under the detrimental influence of alcohol or
drugs.
• Seek help voluntarily if they recognise they have an alcohol or drug related problem.
• Advise the employer if they are aware that a colleague has an alcohol or drug related
problem that is affecting their work. This will ensure that the employee receives the
necessary support and assistance needed.

Estimate
We propose to undertake an initial Leak Detection Survey of the City of
Clermont, utilizing sonic and sub -sonic acoustic equipment in order to
localize any leaks from the potable water network.
It is understood that the area to be surveyed is approximately 30 miles of
pipework, it is estimated that this would take approximately 9 -11 days to
complete based on the pipework being predominately non-metallic. If this
is not the case costings and timeframes will need to be revised.
We shall use all available main apparatus such as gate valves, kerb stops,
fire hydrants etc. Where circumstances dictate, we shall use ground
microphones to surface sound in order to ensure the survey is accurate.
Leaks shall then be pin -pointed using Leak Noise Correlators, Pipe Tracing
Equipment and Ground Microphones. We shall complete velocity checks
and multi -point correlation to enhance accuracy.
The survey will be done at times to suit the client's requirements. This may
include working out of hours in order to gain access to traffic sensitive
roads or areas of high background noise.
A full detailed Leak report of each area will be provided in line with the
requirements.

$11,800.00
Leak survey methods meet AWWA M-36 requirements.
