For heaven's sake, just repair the leaks! While water bosses have been alerted for 60 years during the driest spell, shock numbers show amazing 450 million liters every day

The Scottish water was added after it has appeared that it loses hundreds of millions of liters through leaks every day.

The Quango warned Scots this week to save water and advised people to take shorter showering and avoid using hoses, as Scotland endures its driest time in 60 years.

However, his own figures show that it lost 454 million liters of water a day due to 181 Olympic swimming pools last year.

Scottish Water was also criticized for the payment and the advantages that are enjoyed by the contaminated bosses.

Douglas Lumden, Scottish Conservative Energy and Net -Zero spokesman, said: “High -paid bosses in this SNP -Quango should go ahead with a good example. In view of the current weather, people must follow their advice to save water.

However, Scottish water cannot expect to cut off Scots because they lose the equivalent of almost 200 swimming pools every day, which people will see as completely hypocritical.

“This council will also have a major impact on our farmers who rely on water production and their work on water.

“The Scots will hope that their efforts to reduce the waste of water will prove to be more fertile if this magic continues.”

The average reservoir values ​​are 81 percent – 10 percent lower than usual for this season.

So far, the precipitation for May has been lower than the average in the largest part of the country, whereby the dry, sunny conditions until at least on Thursday is expected to last.

As part of the far -reaching advice on his website, Scottish water suggests that people take buckets with the shower to catch water as they wash themselves and use it for their garden.

The Scottish liberal democratic leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said: “It will be difficult for people to reduce water consumption when Scottish water has not been based on problems and leaky whistles.”

He said Scottish water could find money for bonuses for the bosses, but still not up to date on wastewater dumps or incorrect infrastructure.

The deputy Scottish Labor leader Jackie Baillie said that the Quango had to do more to assure people that it will put their own house in order “and show that it operates transparently, fair and in public interest.

The Scottish water said that the amount of water that was lost in the long run reduced, but admitted that it was still one of the “most important operational problems”.

One spokesman added: “We work hard every day to find and repair leak. A large part of the leaks we now have is smaller and nature to find and repair so heavier, and we use a number of approaches and innovations to hunt them.

“About a quarter of the leakage comes from pipelines in the gardens of home owners and under entrances. We will support homeowners in identifying these problems. '

The Scottish water was not only criticized for its leaks, but was also ordered in 2023 to carry out an emergency preparation of the tap water supply after it was found that they represent a “potential danger to human health”.

The drinking water quality regulation for Scotland has carried out a assertiveness after finding an alarming deficit of the maintenance work.

The watchdog intervened after a number of warnings, including one in which animal residues were found on the bottom of a tank that delivered thousands of house in Ayrshire.

At that time, Scottish water replied that it took measures to solve the problems that were addressed in the fastest possible time.

In the meantime, surfers against wastewater will now hold protests in various locations to increase the problem of wastewater pollution and frustration on the work of Scottish water on this topic.

Data it has collected shows that it monitored 3,498 surveillance in Scotland's waters last year.

The charity organization said that due to the Scottish water, only a small part of the wastewater network is monitored, the actual number of spots is likely to be far higher than the specified numbers.

A spokesman for Scottish Water said: “With average costs of approx. 25,000 GBP per monitor, it is important that we use public money carefully, whereby the investments focus on areas in which monitors could have the greatest environmental impact.

“Independent Regulator Sepa rates 87 percent of the Scottish water environment as good or excellent.”

It comes when the Scotland's Heatwave will continue next week – with little rain from to the weekend.
