Uisce Éireann appeals to the public in Mooncoin to reduce water use as warm, sunny weather looks set to stay

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Uisce Éireann wishes to advise customers in the Mooncoin area that overnight supply restrictions are required to conserve water and maintain a daytime supply.

Starting tonight, limited overnight restrictions will be in place from 10 pm to 8 am, effective until further notice. 

During these times, customers in the following areas may experience interruptions to supply, discolouration, or reduced pressure: Aglish, Rathkernian, Waddingstown, Mooncoin, Dungoley, Dornane Road, Ashgrove, Clonconey, Emil, Corloughan, Clonmore, Turkstown and surrounding areas. 

Customers should allow the supply to fully return 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time has passed.

Uisce Éireann’s Shane Aylward thanked customers for their patience during the restrictions and especially for their efforts to conserve water. “We’re doing everything we can to protect and maintain supplies as we go through the summer, but we’re also asking our Mooncoin customers to help by doing what they can to reduce their use. Unfortunately, restrictions are necessary to maintain and protect the daytime supply, and these will be reviewed daily to minimise the impact on our customers. If everyone in the area takes a few simple steps to reduce the volume used around their homes, businesses, and gardens, we can make our water go further and help maintain normal supplies.”

Uisce Éireann is taking measures to maintain everyday daytime supplies through interventions such as tankering to reservoirs, nighttime restrictions, and pressure management.

For those looking to track their progress and learn more about water conservation, Uisce Éireann has developed an easy-to-use conservation calculator that allows individuals to monitor their water usage.
