Overnight water restrictions to come into effect in the Castlecomer area today

Uisce Éireann has advised customers in the Castlecomer area that overnight supply restrictions are required to conserve water and maintain a daytime supply.

Starting tonight, overnight restrictions will be in place from 9pm until 9am until further notice.

During these times, customers in Clogh, Arda, Massford, Moneenroe, Coolbawn and Castlecomer may experience interruptions to supply, discoloration or reduced pressure. 

Customers should expect the supply to fully return 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time.

Uisce Éireann’s Shane Aylward again thanked customers for their patience during the restrictions and for their efforts to conserve water: “We’re doing everything we can to protect and maintain supplies throughout the summer, but we’re also asking Castlecomer customers to help by doing what they can to reduce their use.”

“If everyone in the area takes a few simple steps to reduce the volume used around their homes, businesses and gardens, we can make our water go further and help maintain normal supplies.”

Uisce Éireann says it’s taking measures to maintain everyday daytime supplies through interventions such as tankering to reservoirs, night-time restrictions and pressure management.

For those looking to track their progress, Uisce Éireann has developed a conservation calculator which allows people to track their personal water usage at www.water.ie/conservation.
