Irish Water are introducing nighttime restrictions in North Inishowen in a bid to conserve daytime supplies.
As the dry weather continues so too do the high levels of domestic, commercial and agricultural demand for treated drinking water in the area.
Working with Donegal County Council, Irish Water say they are taking every measure to ensure that supply can keep up with the increased demand.
However, in order to allow reservoir levels recover restrictions to the North Inishowen Water Supply it is essential overnight between 11pm and 6am.
Irish Water’s Seamus O’Brien explained that demand on the network remains high.
“Irish Water understands the inconvenience the restrictions will cause but it is necessary to maintain reservoir levels and ensure a sufficient water supply to homes and businesses during normal working hours.
“We are working with Donegal County Council to lift the restrictions as soon as possible but in the meantime, we are appealing to customers in Donegal to be mindful of how they use their water at home.. Do not run taps needlessly, take showers instead of baths and postpone using dishwashers and washing machines where possible.”
