Overnight restrictions are being put in place for the Brosna Water Treatment Plant.<\/p>\n
Uisce \u00c9ireann says the restrictions are as a result of increased summer demand on the current supply and they are being put in place to maintain daytime supply.<\/p>\n
The restrictions will run from 9 o\u2019clock tonight until 7am on Friday.<\/p>\n
Uisce \u00c9ireann says water will be restricted overnight to ensure normal service for industries, residences and commercial premises are in place during business hours.<\/p>\n
The catchment regions where restrictions will be in place include the townlands of Shanabally, Shanafona, Gortroe, Kilmanihan, Feale Bridge and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n
Uisce \u00c9ireann\u2019s Charlie O\u2019Leary says these restrictions are essential to safeguard continuous daytime supply and to allow the reservoir the breathing space to replenish.<\/p>\n
Mr O\u2019Leary says Uisce \u00c9ireann is consistently monitoring the supply and they do understand the inconvenience the restrictions may cause.<\/p>\n
However, he adds when there is a good spell of weather it leads to a high demand.<\/p>\n
Uisce \u00c9ireann says there may be discoloration to the water supply each morning due to these restrictions. They say if water is discoloured, run the cold kitchen tap for up to 20 minutes and this will usually restore the water to a clear colour; the water is safe to drink once running clear.<\/p>\n
Uisce \u00c9ireann is also asking customers in the area to conserve water, where possible.<\/p>\n
