National Leakage Reduction Programme
Every day 1.7 billion litres of water is distributed through an underground network of over 63,000km of pipes. However, almost half of this clean water is lost through leaks. We are investing €500 million to reduce this level of leakage across the country by fixing and replacing ageing and leaking water pipes. This will ensure a safe, reliable water supply which is vital for our health, our environment and our growing population and economy.
