Night-time water restrictions to remain for Tipperary's Ardfinnan scheme customers until next week

Night-time water supply restrictions are to remain in place for Uisce Éireann customers who receive their water supply from the Ardfinnan Regional Public Water Supply until next Monday, September 11. 

Uisce Eireann says night time water restrictions are necessary for customers supplied by the Ardfinnan Regional Public Water Supply to ensure a daytime supply for the county Tipperary community.

It says 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 and the Ardfinnan estates of St Finnan's, Castle View estate, Ros Na Gréine, Lady's Abbey, Ashfield Manor and surrounding areas.

"Some customers may experience reduced pressure while others may experience water outages," said an Uisce Eireann spokesperson. 

"Water levels are being reviewed daily and the restrictions will be in place until Monday, 11 September." 

Thanking the community for their patience, Uisce Éireann’s Colin Cunningham said: “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.”
