Nationwide Hosepipe Ban Hits Ireland | Belfast News

Ireland’s water utility Uisce Éireann is enforcing a nationwide hosepipe ban starting Friday night, impacting every county as drought strains supplies. Lasting six weeks through August 26th, the measure targets non-essential water use—no car washing, lawn watering, or paddling pools. With groundwater under stress and demand soaring, especially in tourist areas, officials warn an hour of hose use can exceed a family’s daily needs. Temperatures remain high and rainfall low, making conservation critical. Uisce Éireann applauds early efforts but urges continued restraint to safeguard water for homes, businesses, and essential services.
