	One of the main tasks that water companies face is limiting water losses through the distribution network. This issue is becoming more and more relevant because of progressive climate changes and rising water resource deficiencies. The first step to reducing water losses is the proper detection of leakages, including their location and size. A common approach, called active leakage control, is to divide the water network into District Metered Areas (DMAs) to detect unreported leaks in the water distribution system (WDS). The operating flow meter device at the border of the DMA allows the determination of the number of water losses by balancing water inflows into the zone and billed water consumption. However, to precisely locate a water leak it is necessary to equip the DMA with an adequate number of pressure sensors. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of water supply DMA formation on the sensitivity of the monitoring system in accordance with the number and location of the pressure sensors and the geometric structure of the water pipes in the DMA in order to successfully detect water leakage. The research was conducted on a model grid network with a constant node number but a differential pipe structure. Subsequently, results were verified in the conditions of a real water supply network. The obtained tests showed no clear relationship between the effectiveness of leak detection and the network complexity but confirmed a significant improvement in leak detection after equipping the monitoring system with an additional pressure gauge.
