Water is a limited natural resource and as such the water we use in our homes and businesses is a valuable commodity. It has to go through a very expensive treatment process before we get it.
Water Conservation is one of the surest and cheapest ways that Galway City can ensure the growing needs of our population are met in a sustainable manner.
In 2003 a Nationwide Water Conservation Programme was launched.
The programme is designed to identify and substantially reduce the levels of unaccounted for water in Ireland's water supply network.
The Galway City Water Conservation Project is funded as part of this programme.
