Supporting communities during peak demand

These improvements are particularly impactful during the peak summer season, when water demand traditionally increases. Through targeted interventions delivered under Uisce Éireann’s Find and Fix and First Fix Free schemes, incidents of low pressure and unplanned outages in the area have been markedly reduced, improving service reliability for local customers.

By addressing leaks quickly and efficiently, the programme helps to protect existing water resources while minimising disruption to households and businesses.

Advanced technologies delivering real results

Working collaboratively with Uisce Éireann teams and local stakeholders, GMC engineers are deploying advanced leak detection and repair technologies to identify and resolve complex, hard-to-detect underground leaks. These include geolocation systems and camera inspection tools, which allow teams to pinpoint issues accurately and carry out targeted repairs.

The use of these innovative technologies continues to unlock new opportunities for further water savings as the programme progresses, supporting Uisce Éireann’s long-term objectives for network efficiency and sustainability.
