Galway Water Woes and Heat Alerts | Galway News

Galway’s top beaches are off-limits for swimming due to dangerous bacteria levels, with tests scheduled to continue. Amid soaring heat and drought warnings, Irish Water has imposed a strict six-week hosepipe ban across six counties, banning car washing, garden watering, and paddling pools. Thirty-nine water supplies, including parts of Galway, face nighttime restrictions. Four key water bodies — Glendollagh Lake, Derryclare Lough, Ballynahinch Lake, and Owenmore River — are now “do not use” zones due to chemical contamination threatening local and drinking water. Violators can be reported via Irish Water’s online portal, with the ban potentially extended until August 26th. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
