BREAKING: Large Kilkenny area hit with more water restrictions
Uisce Eireann have said they are doing everything they can to protect and maintain supplies
Uisce Éireann wishes to advise 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 the following areas may experience interruptions to supply, discolouration, or reduced pressure: Clogh, Ardra, Massford, Moneenroe, Coolbawn, and Castlecomer.
Customers should allow the supply to fully return 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time.
"We’re doing everything we can to protect and maintain supplies throughout the summer, but we’re also asking our Castlecomer customers to help by doing what they can to reduce their usage. 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’s Shane Aylward told Kilkenny Live.
Uisce Éireann is taking measures to maintain everyday daytime supplies through interventions such as tankering to reservoirs, night-time restrictions, and pressure management.
