‘Water people’ celebrating the people who help look after our water

Water is our most valuable resource on earth and is essential for all living things; we cannot live without it! Water has become more precious than ever before with the impact of global warming and climate change causing weather and rainfall patterns to change.  Providing safe clean water and ensuring we look after the environment is very important and it takes many people working together with lots of different skills to do this. 

There are lots of ‘water people’ who work hard to keep our water flowing. NI Water have over 1500 staff with lots of different jobs. These people have important jobs to make sure we all have clean safe water in our taps 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and that the water we have used is returned safely to the watercycle.
