Volume of wasted water in Cork city increases despite infrastructural works to improve pipes

The volume of water wasted in Cork city has increased over the last four years despite a massive infrastructural project to plug leaks and improve pipes throughout the city centre.

Figures compiled by Cork City Council show that despite major works to modernise the city's Victorian-era water infrastructure, more water was deemed 'unaccounted for' by Irish Water in 2018 than at the end of 2015.
