Clare County Council has re-issued its appeal to all water consumers to monitor their property and / or lands for leakage and to conserve water in order to improve supply.
The Council’s Water Services Section says efforts are continuing to locate and repair leaks and bursts on public water mains throughout the County.
Sean Ward, Senior Engineer, stated: “It is evident that a substantial volume of the unaccounted for water is being lost through consumer side leakage and we will not be in a position to restore normal services until this is addressed. The Council is appealing to all property owners to inspect their premises and take the appropriate action to address leakage and / or wasted water. This may involve engaging the services of a plumber.”
Members of the public wishing to report leaks outside their area of responsibility should advise the Leak Detection Team on 1800-BURSTS (1800-287787).
