UISCE \u00c9ireann is appealing to the people of Limerick to reduce<\/a> water usage, advising customers in some areas that overnight supply restrictions will be in place this weekend.<\/p>\n

Uisce \u00c9ireann has advised customers in Oola,\u00a0Pallasgreen, Bruff,\u00a0Herbertstown,\u00a0and surrounding areas that overnight supply restrictions are “required\u00a0to conserve water and\u00a0maintain\u00a0a daytime supply”. <\/p>\n

Starting this Friday, August 15, overnight restrictions will be in place in these areas over the course of this weekend from 10pm until 7am each night\u00a0until Monday, August 18.\u00a0\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

During these times, customers in these areas may experience interruptions to supply, or reduced water pressure.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

Uisce \u00c9ireann confirmed that there may be “some short-term discolouration” as water returns to the network each morning. <\/p>\n

“In the event of discolouration, running the cold kitchen tap for several minutes will usually restore the water to a clear colour. The water is safe to drink once running clear. If the issue remains unresolved, we encourage customers to contact us directly on 1800 278 278.”<\/p>\n

Uisce\u00a0\u00c9ireann\u2019s Water Operations manager, Eoin O\u2019Connell says: \u201cWe understand the inconvenience nighttime restrictions can cause to communities; however, given the increased demand, overnight restrictions are essential to maintain a daytime water supply for homes and businesses while we allow reservoir levels time to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uisce\u00a0\u00c9ireann are asking Limerick customers to conserve water, where possible, following a “period of high demand”. <\/p>\n

“Simple water conservation actions can have a significant impact on driving down demand on the supply,” a spokesperson for the organisation said. <\/p>\n

“We are asking customers to conserve water by turning off the tap while brushing your teeth and shaving, which can save up to six litres of water per minute. Keeping a jug of water in the fridge instead of running the cold tap can save 10 litres of water per day. In the garden, we\u2019re asking people to recycle water, such as water used in food preparation or washing up, for watering flowers and lawns.”<\/p>\n

Uisce\u00a0\u00c9ireann is also encouraging customers to engage with the organisation through its website, X channels @IWCare and @IrishWater, and customer care helpline, which is open 24\/7 at 1800 278 278.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
