Local customers are being advised by Uisce Éireann to conserve their water supply.
The utility company is urging customers in Carrick-on-Shannon and across South Leitrim to continue efforts to conserve water and protect supply.
“Following an increase in water usage by households and businesses supplied by Carrick-on-Shannon Water Treatment Plant, customers are being asked to be mindful of their usage, allow supply to catch up with demand and enable reservoirs to fully replenish,” the company said in a statement this afternoon. “High usage can lead to pressure reductions which can impact the supply to customers.”
Speaking about conserving water, Uisce Éireann’s Peadar Griffin said: “There has been a noticeable increase in water demand across the South Leitrim areas in recent weeks. We are continuing to ask 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.” Peadar 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.”
