Water Conservation Hub

Due to the current high demand for water, combined with the ongoing low rainfall levels, some water supply schemes across the country are experiencing water shortages and reduced pressure due to low reservoir levels. We're asking the public to help play their part in protecting essential water supplies for their local communities, and to conserve water where possible.

We will continue to monitor the levels at all our supplies over the coming weeks and months and take any actions that may be necessary to maintain supplies. Further details on localised water restrictions are below. Where alternative water supplies are in place, customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tankers and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure as per HSE advice.

There are a number of easy steps people can take to reduce their water usage during the hot weather, including:

• Avoid power washing and keep the garden hose in the shed.
• Check for leaks on outdoor taps or troughs as these can lead to large losses of treated water.
• Remember that paddling pools and swimming pools can use huge volumes of water so try to minimise the amount of water used and consider reusing the water for the garden or cleaning the car.
• Report any visible leaks on the public network to Uisce Éireann.

Check for local works

Works on the water mains in your area can cause short term water quality and supply issues. Check our Service and Supply map to see if there are works happening near you.
