Reducing our water usage is a major priority for us at Ballynahinch Castle. The hotel has its own water treatment plant on-site, which means we are entirely self-sufficient and are not on any mains water system. We understand that excessive water usage has a huge impact on our environment, as a result we have taken a number of actions to reduce our usage.
- We have installed water efficient taps, showers, and toilets, towel and linen reuse programmes as well as recycling and composting programmes.
- In 2024 we have set a reduction target of 6% for our water consumption.
- We plan to install rain water catchment tanks to water some of our fruit and vegetable production.
- We use untreated river water for our walled garden, thus reducing waste and energy.
- Some of these actions include water efficient taps, showers, and toilets, towel and linen reuse programmes as well as recycling and composting programmes.
