Uisce Éireann announces night-time water restrictions for customers in part of Tipperary
The night-time restrictions will impact Uisce Éireann customers supplied by the Ardfinnan Water Treatment Plant
Uisce Éireann has announced it is introducing overnight restrictions for customers supplied by the Ardfinnan Water Treatment Plant in an effort to safeguard daytime supplies.
The restrictions are necessary as a result of low reservoir levels at the plant.

Pierce Faherty, Uisce Éireann Water Operations Manager in Tipperary has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore supply to normal levels. “We understand the impact of overnight restrictions, but these measures are necessary to ensure continuous daytime supply for homes and businesses. Uisce Éireann crews have repaired several leaks on the network recently but reservoir levels remain low. Demand remains high across the network so we’d like to appeal to customers to conserve water where possible.” said Pierce.
