Perhaps. Anyway his wish has been granted:

Wasn't one of the justifications for privatising the water industry to
substantially reduce the massive loss of water between source and
consumer?

Off at a bit of a tangent, but there has been a lot of grumbling about
increased ground water extraction and then loss by leakage.

Granted that it takes a while for the water to sink back down again, but
in the context of ground water isn't the leakage just going back to
source, and is thus not truly "lost"?

Lost water presumably goes through the sewerage or storm drainage and into
the rivers and seas.
