Uisce Éireann is renewing its appeal to customers in Ramelton, Milford, and Kerrykeel to continue efforts to conserve water and protect supply over the bank holiday weekend.
Dry weather conditions have resulted in low lake levels at Milford, the area’s water source. As a result, customers are being asked to be mindful of their usage, allow supply to catch up with demand and enable reservoirs to fully replenish. High usage can lead to pressure reductions which can impact the supply to customers.
Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan reminded locals to be mindful of their water usage over the Easter holidays.
“The ongoing dry weather in recent weeks has resulted in lake levels falling at Milford. We are continuing to appeal to customers in these areas to conserve water to give the reservoirs time to replenish.
“Any reduction that customers can make in their usage in the coming days and weeks can collectively result in significant supply improvements for all homes and businesses.
“It’s important that we all consider our water usage and look at simple yet impactful ways to conserve water. It can sometimes be difficult to know where to start, but even small changes can make a significant difference.”
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.
Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.
