Based upon the hotel’s sustainability programme ‘Caring for our Environment’ the hotels main water saving strategies are:
- Private Water Well
- Talbot Hotel Clonmel has its own water well.
- Advantages cited: reduced dependency on external supply, more reliable water access, potential for environmental benefits by reducing the energy/carbon footprint associated with transportation and treatment of water supplied from public systems.
- Real-time Monitoring & Leak Detection
- We participate in a partnership with SMART FLOW, which gives real-time visibility into water usage and triggers alerts for unusual flow (possible leaks, misuse).
- Monitoring intake and output of water to identify excessive use or leakage.
- Water-Saving Fixtures and Controls
- Installed water-saving fixtures in conference areas, restrooms, kitchens.
- Showers in the leisure centre have push-button use to ensure water only flows when needed.
- Signage for guests to encourage reduced water use & reuse of towels.
- Water Well Quality Assurance / Independent Source
- The well gives us more control over water quality for their own usage.
- Part of Broader Water Management Plan
- Our Sustainable Management Plan (2024-2029) includes a Water Management & Minimisation Plan as a key pillar.
- Our hotel is committed via its Green Hospitality / Eco-Label goals to meeting defined water usage criteria.
