{{short description|Illegal tapping of water supply systems}}

Water theft is illegal tapping of water supply systems. Together with losses from water leaks in the piping, water theft is one of the major factors contributing to non-revenue water.

Thames Water estimated losses by theft to amount to 2 to {{convert|3|e6l}} per year in 2017, flowing through 734 unauthorized connections.[1] The basic controversy, however, of whether there can be such a thing as water theft (by individuals and for personal use, that is), is open.[2]
