National metering programme estimates leakage of water at 42% across Fingal
Leakage of water from the network is a serious problem on a national scale and that is reflected in Fingal. Lost water is estimated at 47% nationally based on figures from the national metering programme, and 42% across Fingal based on 2015 figures.
Figures just released to the end of March this year have shown that 4,005 householders across Dublin benefited from Irish Water’s First Fix Free scheme as the utility responsible for the country’s water and waste water management urges more householders to avail of the free service.
Irish Water’s First Fix Free scheme launched in early 2015 across all metering regions in Dublin and throughout the country. To the end of March, 75974 properties were identified with customer side leaks, 14,953 of which have been found in Dublin.
