Northern Ireland Water pumping extra 100m litres of water a day amid leaks
The recent cold weather is likely to have exacerbated the problem.
"We had a fairly severe frost right across Northern Ireland and then over the last weekend a fairly sudden thaw and that brings its own problems," Mr Cousley said."That means that pipes under the ground, the joint, start to pull, we can have leaks as well and a lot of them are not seen because they're under the ground.""We urgently ask the public to check their empty properties for burst pipes," he said.
"In particular, we are appealing to landlords to check student housing and other rental properties that are currently empty." Large businesses and factories closed for the weekend are also asked to return to their property and thoroughly check inside and outside for leaks.
