An increase in demand for water in the Carrick-on-Shannon area has led to Uisce Éireann, this afternoon, appealing to customers in the Carrick-on-Shannon area to conserve water. 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. High usage can lead to pressure reductions which can impact the supply to customers, the company said. 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 appealing to customers in these areas to conserve water to give the reservoirs time to replenish.
