Customers in Enniscorthy and surrounding areas on the Enniscorthy Regional Water Supply Scheme are advised by Uisce Éireann that essential night-time water restrictions are required from tonight (Friday) until Monday morning, from 11pm to 6am on each of the three nights to help reservoir levels recover.
Speaking to WexfordLocal.com about conserving water, Uisce Éireann’s Regional Asset Operations Lead, Ronan Walsh said: “We are appealing to communities across Wexford to conserve water to give the reservoirs time to replenish. We have had a very dry period and with the warmer weather currently being experienced and more forecasted, supplies will come under increased pressure. Any reduction that customers can make in their usage can collectively result in significant supply improvements for all customers. I would ask that everyone in Wexford play their part to help conserve water this summer.”
Uisce Éireann working in partnership with Wexford County Council say that customers in Enniscorthy town and surrounding areas will experience low pressure and/or outages. It can take two to three hours following low pressure for normal supply to be fully restored to all areas as water refills the network.
Water demand will continue to be monitored and further restrictions may be required. Further updates will be issued. Communities across Co Wexford are urged to be mindful of their water usage as increased domestic and commercial demand is being exacerbated by warm weather conditions.
Members of the public can report any leaks in the public water network by contacting Uisce Éireann 24/7 at 1800 278 278 or on water.ie.
