Question Details: How does the UK leakage rate compare with the rest of Europe and which EU country has

accurately compare due to differences in measurement methods. For more information about this, please see p.48-51 of
the OFWAT International comparison of water and sewerage service 2007 report, which can be accessed via this link:
