• Restrictions in place nightly from 11pm to 6am until 30 November  

Water supply is returning to customers in Clonakilty and surrounding areas after disruptions caused by Storm Bert. However, due to low reservoir levels, nightly water restrictions will be implemented to conserve supplies and ensure availability during daytime hours.

Essential Restrictions in Place

The restrictions will occur nightly from 11pm to 6am until 30 November. High-ground areas are expected to experience reduced pressure and flow during these periods. The Clonakilty Water Treatment Plant suffered mechanical issues over the weekend due to adverse weather conditions, affecting water production capacity.

As the water network replenishes throughout the week, expert crews will address any operational and network issues that arise from the storm’s impact.

Appeal to Conserve Water

Uisce Éireann is urging homes and businesses to conserve water to help the supply meet demand. Customers are encouraged to adopt water-saving measures and to use the conservation resources available on the Uisce Éireann website at www.water.ie/conserve, including a conservation calculator to track savings.

Customers are also asked to check for leaks in their homes and carry out repairs as needed. Farmers are being reminded to inspect service pipes, drinking troughs, and outbuildings for potential leaks.

To assist with resolving issues, customers are urged to report visible leaks or loss of service. The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is available 24/7 on 1800 278 278, and updates are provided on X @IWCare and through the Water Supply Updates section on www.water.ie.

A free text alert service has been launched for real-time updates on local water supply issues. Customers can sign up using their Eircode and mobile number at www.water.ie.

For now, Uisce Éireann asks everyone in the Clonakilty area to remain mindful of their water usage and take simple steps to conserve this vital resource.
