Water restrictions in Tipp townland

Nighttime water restrictions are necessary for customers supplied by Ardfinnan Regional Water Supply to ensure a daytime supply for the Tipperary community.

The restrictions, which are in place from 9pm each evening to 7am the following morning, are required due to help reservoir level recover.

The areas affected include Ardfinnan, Newcastle, Poulatar, Ballyclerihan, Poulmucca and surrounding areas. Some customers may experience reduced pressure while others may experience water outages.

Water levels are being reviewed daily and the restrictions will run until Friday, September 1. Not all areas will be impacted each night.

Thanking the community for their patience, Uisce Éireann’s Colin Cunningham said: “We understand the impact restrictions have on a community but, after recent issues at the water treatment plant, they are essential to allow reservoir levels to recover overnight and maintain a consistent supply of drinking water for customers during the day. We thank the community for their support and ask them to consider their water usage in the days ahead.”
