Water Shortages Hit Local Towns | Waterford News

from Waterford News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Waterford’s water supply is under serious strain due to prolonged dry weather, prompting Uisce Éireann to urge everyone to conserve. Nighttime restrictions are now in place in Dungarvan and other towns like Ballyguiry, Cappoquin, and Portlaw to protect reservoirs. While community efforts are helping, recovery will take time. Simple actions—shorter showers, fixing leaks, no lawn hoses—make a big difference. The Water Conservation Order remains active until August 26th. Uisce Éireann is also boosting production and repairing infrastructure. Report public leaks to 1800 278 278 or visit water.ie/conservation for tips.
