Nighttime water restrictions on the Tully/Tullycross Public Water Supply will continue to ensure a secure daytime water supply.
Restrictions were introduced last week as a result of a drop in the raw water quality entering the local treatment plant, which in turn caused reservoir levels to fall.
The nighttime restrictions are now necessary to allow reservoir levels to replenish and will continue until at least next Monday, 5 January.
The restrictions will be in place each night from 10.30pm to 8am the following morning to allow the local reservoir levels recharge.
Water levels are being reviewed daily and a decision if further restrictions are required will be announced on Monday, explained Uisce Éireann’s Tony Kelly.
“I want to thank customers on the supply for their water conservation efforts. I understand that nighttime restrictions are inconvenient, but I can assure customers that these measures are absolutely essential in order to preserve a full daytime supply for homes and businesses,” said Tony.
Customers can help conserve water by not running taps needlessly, taking showers instead of baths and postponing using dishwashers and washing machines where possible.
Customers can also find useful water saving tips on our website www.water.ie/conserve. This also includes an easy-to-use conservation calculator so you can work out how much water you are currently saving and how to conserve even more.
