15 areas of Ireland are already being impacted by water shortages after a severe lack of rainfall in recent weeks.
Irish Water have said that while the majority of their 750 water treatment plants continue to meet demand, they are keeping an eye on things due to the blast of hot weather we're experiencing this week.
Temperatures will touch 27C on Wednesday before heating up majorly into the weekend, with a potential for a record-breaking day on either Saturday or Sunday.
In a statement, Irish Water said: "There are currently 15 areas impacted by shortages and Irish Water has implemented a range of measures such as tankering and/or night-time restrictions to protect supplies and ensure water keeps flowing to homes and businesses.
"In addition there are approximately 60 supplies around the country that are being closely monitored by Irish Water to ensure that normal supply is maintained for the rest of the Summer and into Autumn."
Tom Cuddy, Irish Water's Head of Asset Operations, said: "While recent rainfall has reduced the risk of drought, we would ask the public that they continue to conserve over the coming weeks.
By reducing our water use, for example turning off the hose and avoiding power washing, we can all help ensure there is enough water for everyone as we go through the rest of the Summer and into Autumn."
The national forecaster has already put a high temperature warning in for Munster and Leinster which is set to kick in on Thursday, but Wednesday will also be a bit of a scorcher in parts of the country.
It comes as an overall advisory for warmer conditions remains in place, having been introduced on Sunday - that's set to go until Monday morning at the earliest.
