Uisce Eireann To Impose Overnight Water Restriction For Some Galtee Regional Public Water Supply Users

434

Uisce Eireann are to impose overnight water restrictions for some customers supplied by Galtee Regional Public Water Supply to ensure a daytime supply. The restrictions, in place for some areas on the scheme, will be in place from 9pm tonight until 7am tomorrow morning to help reservoir levels recover. 

The areas affected include Bansha, Knockballynoe, Aughnagower, Kilfeacle, Ballyhusty, Drishane, Greenane and surrounding areas.

Some customers, especially those at higher elevations on the network, may experience reduced pressure while others may experience water outages. 

Water levels will be reviewed on Wednesday and a further update will be issued if additional restrictions are required.  

Uisce Eireann says the restrictions are essential to allow reservoir levels to recover overnight to provide a consistent supply of drinking water for customers during the day. The company is also asking that the public would conserve water whenever possible.

The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact the company on Twitter @IWCare with any queries. Updates will also be available on  the Water Supply Updates section of the Uisce Éireann website – water.ie
