Episode 7 of the Uisce Matters Podcast
Conservation: Why saving water matters in a country full of rain.
Why does water conservation matter in a country where it rains so often?
In this episode, host Orlaith Blaney is joined by Margaret Attridge, Head of Water Operations at Uisce Éireann/Irish Water, and Mairead Conlon, Asset Strategy Senior Manager at Uisce Éireann/Irish Water, to tackle that question head-on, discussing the work involved in treating and supplying safe drinking water — and why smarter, more resilient water services are essential for communities, housing and economic growth.
They also address some of the bigger questions around Ireland’s water future — including why leakage reduction is vital but cannot solve every supply challenge on its own, how commercial water use is managed, and why connecting communities to more resilient supplies is central to long-term planning.
You’ll hear about the dedicated teams working around the clock to keep water flowing for communities across the country and pick up practical tips to help reduce water waste in the bathroom, kitchen and garden.
