Nighttime restrictions on Tully/Tullycross supply extended
Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section
Uisce Éireann has thanked customers on the Tully/Tullycross Public Water Supply for their help in conserving water with nighttime restrictions now lifted.
Low reservoir levels as a result in a drop in the raw water quality entering the local treatment plant saw the introduction of nighttime restrictions over the holiday period.
However, following works at the plant and local efforts to conserve water, the restrictions have been lifted.
Uisce Éireann’s Tony Kelly praised the community for being mindful of their water use and explained that water levels continue to be reviewed daily.
“Water reserves have recovered and are currently sufficient to ensure a continuous water supply. There is no guarantee we won’t need to reintroduce nighttime restrictions, but for now we will continue to monitor and maintain the supply. While the restrictions might be lifted, I urge the community to be mindful of their water use – it is a precious resource.”
Customers can help conserve water by not running taps needlessly, taking showers instead of baths and postponing using dishwashers and washing machines where possible. Customers can also find useful water saving tips on our conservation page. This also includes an easy-to-use conservation calculator so you can work out how much water you are currently saving and how to conserve even more.
Uisce Éireann continues to keep customers informed across multiple platforms 24/7 and we encourage customers to engage with us through our website, X channel @IWCare, and through our customer care helpline which is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278.

Previous Updates
Overnight water restrictions will continue on the Tully/Tullycross Public Water Supply over the coming days to ensure a normal daytime supply for the Galway community.
Restrictions were introduced this week as a result of a drop in the raw water quality entering the local treatment plant which in turn caused reservoir levels to fall.
The nighttime restrictions are now necessary to allow reservoir levels to replenish and will continue until at least next Monday, 5 January.
The restrictions will be in place each night from 10.30pm to 8am the following morning to allow the local reservoir levels recharge.
Water levels are being reviewed daily and a decision if further restrictions are required will be announced on Monday, explained Uisce Éireann’s Tony Kelly.
“I want to thank customers on the supply for their water conservation efforts. I understand that nighttime restrictions are inconvenient but I can assure customers that these measures are absolutely essential in order to preserve a full daytime supply for homes and businesses,” said Tony.
