DONEGAL County Council
has appealed to people to conserve water due to the
ongoing dry weather and low water levels at the
county's lakes. The local authority urged people not
to use the mains supply for watering lawns or
washing cars and yards, in a bid to avoid shortages
in the coming months. People have been urged to turn
off taps at home, at work and on the farm. |
“Please check for
faulty plumbing as dripping taps or running cisterns
can account for considerable losses. Any suspected
leaks on water mains or wastage should be reported
to the county council in your local area office,“
the local authority said in a statement yesterday.
“The co-operation of every community is required if
we are to avert water shortages later in the year.
Everyone is urged to play their part in conserving
this precious resource.
“The council are continually working to eliminate
losses and conserve water and have made good
progress. |

conservation is everybody’s business,“ the statement
