Irish Water says half of water lost through leaks

Irish Water says half of water lost through leaks: "Almost half the water supply around the State is lost through leaks in the water network, Irish Water has said.
The semi-State today publishes its Water Services Strategic Plan, which sets out strategies for the utility in the short, medium and longer term.
The plan outlines the semi-State’s priorities in areas such as dealing with customers and upgrading the water network. It describes leakage of water from supply networks as “a serious problem on a national scale”.
