Uisce Eireann is appealing for us to conserve water this summer.
Despite the downpours we’ve seen, including in some local spots this morning, it seems May’s hot spell saw demand for supplies soar with over 685m litres used in just one day in Dublin alone. (More here).
Head of Operations with the utility company, Margaret Attridge wants people to be mindful of the water they’re using in their homes and gardens, noting; “In a recent survey it did tell us that there was a third of Irish people admitted that they pay limited attention to conserving water in their day-to-day lives, what we’re doing now is just issuing a national appeal reminding people that water is precious and we’re just encouraging people that they can make simple changes in their day-to-day lives to protect our supplies”.
