Kep , the leak-detecting dog, has a nose for sniffing out water that's going to waste
Kep is a water detection canine used by Water Corp to find leaks
She sniffs out the chlorine in scheme water
She was selected for the program at just three days of age and underwent eight months of training
Kep, named for the Noongar word for water, works as part of the corporation's non-visible leaks program.
As the state's supplier of water, it has a total network of pipes measuring almost 35,000 kilometres and is the largest water utility in the world in terms of the geographical area serviced.
Working alongside canine handler Andrew Blair, Kep was able to identify her target scent of chlorinated water and despite there being a shallow layer of rainwater over the salt lake she was able to narrow down the exact location where it was coming from underground.
