Overnight water restrictions will be in place tonight (Thursday) for Uisce Éireann customers in Enniscorthy.
Restrictions will be in place from 11pm tonight until 6am on Friday morning.
The restrictions are necessary as a result of a burst water main in Enniscorthy, but the supply interruption coupled with high demand on the network has left reservoir levels critically low.
Typically, it takes two to three hours for normal supply to restore to all areas as the water refills the network, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.
Padraig Lyng, Uisce Éireann Water Operations Manager in Wexford has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore supply to normal levels.
“We understand the impact of overnight restrictions, but these measures are necessary to ensure continuous daytime supply for homes and businesses while we allow the reservoir levels time to recover” said Mr Lyng.
