Skibbereen Water Restrictions Explained

Skibbereen’s water woes hit again—nighttime restrictions kick in Wed, June 24, through the weekend to let reservoirs recover. With treated water being used faster than it can be stored, pressure drops between 10:30 PM and 7 AM. Residents in Skibbereen, Union Hall, and Castletownsend are urged to conserve during the day. It’s not a shortage—it’s demand overload. Measures aim to stabilize until Monday, June 29. Meanwhile, Bantry relies on tankers, and Leap Reservoir’s supply is boosted. Simple fixes at home—shorter showers, turning off taps while brushing, running appliances only when full, and fixing leaks—can make a huge difference.
