However essential restrictions required nightly from 11pm to 6am until 30 November 

Customers in Mogeely, Castlemartyr, Ladysbridge in East Cork and Clonakilty in West Cork following the impact of Storm Bert are to get water supply back. 

While production has now recommenced at the Mogeely & Clonakilty Water Treatment Plants, the reservoirs levels are at risk of dropping. Therefore, essential restrictions will be required to conserve water and maintain daytime supplies. In particular, high-ground areas will experience a reduction in pressure and flow during the restrictions. 

 

Restrictions are scheduled to take place nightly from 11pm until 6am until 30 November to allow reservoirs to replenish. 

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

 

Customers can 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. We are also appealing to customers to check for leaks in the home and carry out necessary leak repairs and asking farmers to check their service pipes, drinking troughs and outbuildings. Customers are urged to report loss of service or visible leaks to assist Uisce Éireann to identify bursts.

 

Uisce Éireann would also like to remind customers of that, as part of, the National Leakage Reduction Programme, valve installation works are due to be carried out from 11pm on 26 November until 3am on 27 November.

This may cause supply disruptions to Ladysbridge, Springfield Road, Mogeely, Castlemartyr and surrounding areas in Co. Cork. A traffic management plan will be in place for the duration of the works.  

Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications from us for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.

 

The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact us on X @IWCare with any queries. For updates please visit the Water Supply Updates section of water.ie
