Uisce Éireann is urging the public to reduce water use and report leaks across Dublin. Check your homes and work for leaks, and report them to water.ie so they can be repaired. Be mindful of your water use and turn off the taps when not necessary.
Re-Turn Scheme is launching on February 1st. Buy a drink in a plastic, steel or aluminium container, pay a deposit, return the empty container, get your deposit back!
More single-use bottles are recycled properly, and everyone wins.
