Overnight water restrictions for Uisce Éireann customers who get their water from the Ardfinnan Regional Public Water Scheme, are to remain in place until this Friday. October 27.

Uisce Éireann says the restrictions are necessary to ensure a daytime supply for the county Tipperary community.

The restrictions, which are in place from 9pm each evening to 7am the following morning, are required to help reservoir levels recover.

The areas affected include Ardfinnan village, Ballyhist, Cranna, Ballybrado, Kilcommon, Roosca, Ballyea, Castlegrace, St Finnan’s estate, Castle View estate, Ros Na Gréine, Lady's Abbey, Ashfield Manor Estates, Goatenbridge, Poulatar, Ballyvera, Newcastle, Middlequarter, Knockperry, Garrencasey and surrounding areas.

Some customers may experience reduced pressure while others may experience water outages during these times.

"Water levels are being reviewed daily and the restrictions will be in place until Friday, 27 October," said Uisce Éireann spokesman Colin Cunningham.

“We understand the impact restrictions have on a community, but they are essential to allow reservoir levels to recover overnight and maintain a consistent supply of drinking water for customers during the day. We thank the community for their support and ask them to consider their water usage in the days ahead.”
