ALERT: 'Necessary' water restrictions announced for County Kilkenny

Uisce Éireann wishes to advise customers in the Castlecomer area of North Kilkenny that overnight supply restrictions are required to conserve water and maintain a daytime supply.

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

Homes and businesses are being asked to be mindful of their water usage to allow the supply to catch up with demand and enable water levels to replenish.

Customers in Clogh, Ardra, Massford, Moneenroe, Coolbawn and Castlecomer itself may experience interruptions to supply, discolouration, or reduced pressure during these times.

"Following recent heavy rainfall, the quality of raw water entering the treatment plant has been impacted, making it more challenging to maintain production levels," Uisce Éireann’s Shane Aylward said.

"These restrictions are necessary to ensure a consistent water supply during daytime hours. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and sincerely thank the community for their patience and cooperation," he added.
