Uisce Eireann has issued notice today that further water restrictions are being imposed in Dunmore which may cause outages until Friday.
Customers in Dunmore and the surrounding areas may experience further intermittent disruption to their water supply over the next 24 hours.
Due to mechanical failures at the Dunmore (Gortgarrow Springs) Water Treatment Plant, some areas of the supply may experience water outages over the next 24 hours.
This may impact on customers in in Dunmore, Garrafrauns and Clonberne, including the Boyounagh Ballyedmund Group Water Scheme and the Knocmascahill Group Water Scheme.
Restrictions will be in place from lunchtime today (Thursday, 15 August) until tomorrow morning (Friday, 16 August) in order to allow reservoir levels to fully recover.
Uisce Éireann are asking customers in the area to conserve water, where possible. Simple water conservation actions can have a significant impact on driving down demand on the supply.
Customers can 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 people can recycle water, such as water used in food preparation or washing up, for watering flowers and lawns. For more tips on how to reduce your water usage visit www.water.ie/conservation/.
