Nighttime water restrictions introduced in Clonakilty following West Cork hosepipe ban

Irish Water said the latest water restrictions affecting the town, which could see thousands of people experiencing a reduction in water pressure and flow, are required to give the reservoir time to replenish

The restrictions, which will be introduced on Tuesday, will be in place from 11pm to 7am every night until further notice.

Nighttime water restrictions have been reintroduced in Clonakilty in West Cork in a bid to safeguard daytime supplies.

It comes less than 24 hours after a hose pipe ban was introduced in the wider West Cork region where water levels are at “historic lows”.
