UISCE Éireann is urging customers in Ramelton and Milford to conserve water and protect supply.
Following an increase in water usage by households and businesses supplied in these areas and low lake levels at Milford, 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.
Speaking about conserving water, Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan said: “There has been a noticeable increase in water demand across these areas in recent weeks. We are appealing to customers in these areas to conserve water to give the reservoirs time to replenish. Any reduction that customers can make in their usage can collectively result in significant supply improvements for all homes and businesses.”
Damien added: “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.
