The city's public water utility, Eau de Paris, monitors its ~2,000 km drinking-water network with continuous quality probes (chlorine, pH, conductivity, temperature), flow and pressure meters, and roughly 2,500-3,000 magnetic acoustic and hydrophone sensors that listen for leaks overnight — all feeding a control room and 'Datalab' that processes over a million readings a day. The utility repairs about 1,000 leaks a year and reports a network efficiency near 91% (2023), among the highest in France. It is distinct from the city's Seine bathing-water monitoring.
