'The average water use of one person is 133 litres a day': Public urged to limit water usage

Uisce Éireann's campaign, 'Think Water Conservation', aims to encourage the public to "play their part in protecting essential water supplies".

Uisce Éireann has issued a renewed appeal to people calling on them to take practical steps to limit their daily water usage.

It comes as research found more than half of of Irish households admit to wasting water. The announcement follows news of a nationwide Status Yellow high temperature warning that was issued on Wednesday, with temperatures expected to hit 30C in parts of the country over the coming days.
