Disclosed is a sensor system for retrofitting a water supply of an airplane to detect leakage. The system includes a housing (120) having a first band (122) with an inner diameter (128) sized to receive a necked portion (152) of a valve for consumer access to the water supply. The system includes a first transducer (126) disposed on the first band operable to provide a position measurement corresponding to a relative position between a head of the valve and the necked portion. The system includes a second transducer operable to provide a pressure measurement corresponding to a pressure of a compressed gas in a water tank of the water supply. The system includes a controller having input channels operable to receive the position measurement and the pressure measurement. The controller is operable to indicate a leak condition.
