LATEST: Overnight restrictions placed on local Tipperary town water supply

Uisce Éireann is introducing overnight restrictions for customers in parts of Tipperary Town in an effort to safeguard daytime supply.

The restrictions which will be in place from 8pm tonight, November 12, until 7am tomorrow, November 13 are necessary as a result of low reservoir levels at Cordangan Reservoir where demand for water is currently exceeding supply.

The areas impacted are St Michaels Avenue, Marion Terrace, Avondale Cresent, Rossmore Village, James Connelly Park, Cashel Road and the surrounding areas.

Pierce Faherty, Uisce Éireann Water Operations Manager in Tipperary 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.

“We have intensified our efforts to detect and repair leaks in this area and are appealing to customers to be mindful of their water usage to give the reservoir time to replenish. Any reductions made can collectively result in significant supply improvements for all homes and businesses.”
