With more cold weather expected in the coming days, homeowners are being asked to check for leaks and to only use what they need.
Tom Cuddy, Head of Operations, Irish Water, said, “Demand for water whilst still high, it has stabilized as Irish Water working with our Local Authority partners continues to address bursts across the network."
"However, as we face another spell of sub-zero temperatures from tonight we are appealing to homes, businesses and those responsible for unoccupied buildings to check for leaks whilst adhering to current public health regulations and advice, and to turn off water where it’s not needed."
"We are appealing to customers to check outside pipes in particular that can become frozen and burst during periods of cold weather and report leaks they see on the public network to us."
"We are also asking the public to conserve water where possible and to only use what they need whilst continuing to adhere to public health advice on hand washing and hygiene regarding COVID-19."
