Uisce Éireann is appealing to everyone in Wexford to be mindful of their use of water.
Following an increase in water usage by households and businesses, customers are being asked to be mindful of their usage, allow supply to catch up with demand and enable reservoirs to replenish fully. Uisce Éireann is closely monitoring all water supplies across the county and is implementing measures such as tankering to reservoirs, nighttime restrictions, and pressure management.
Padraig Lyng, Uisce Éireann Water Operations Manager in Wexford, said; “Water demand has noticeably increased across Wexford in recent days. We’re asking customers across the county to conserve water and give supplies time to recover. Even small changes in how we use water can make a big difference, helping to improve the supply for everyone.
“We’re doing everything we can to protect and maintain water supplies throughout the summer, but we also need the public’s support. If everyone in Wexford takes a few simple steps to reduce water use at home, in the garden, and at work, we can make our water go further and help maintain a regular supply for all.”
For more simple ways to conserve water, check out the Uisce Éireann conservation calculator (www.water.ie/calculator), which can help people work out how much water they are currently using and how they can conserve even more.
