With more hot weather due over the weekend and into next week Irish Water is asking the public to continue their efforts to conserve water.
While the majority of Irish Water’s 750 water treatment plants continue to meet the demand for water supply there has been a steady increase in the number of supplies that are being impacted by drought conditions. And the number of locations experiencing restrictions is likely to increase over the coming days and weeks as demand remains high due to the hot weather.
At present there are 37 supplies nationwide where Irish Water is implementing measures to ensure taps keep flowing. In most cases, there is still no impact on customers but there are a small number of locations where overnight restrictions are in place. These include parts of West Cork, Kerry and Galway.
