Work is well under way on the Dublin water conservation project. The project consists of three elements, a leakage reduction programme, network rehabilitation works and the provision of water conservation infrastructure. All three elements have started. The main element of the project deals with leakage reduction. The initial phase of this element, consisting of preparatory work in relation to district metering, pressure control and water audit of leakage levels, has been completed together with the installation and replacement of bulk water meters. Leakage control terms have been established and are carrying out work for first identify and then reduce water leakage throughout the region.
