Night-time water restrictions lifted in Castlecomer
Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section
Nighttime water restrictions in Castlecomer and the surrounding areas have been lifted. Uisce Éireann will continue to monitor water levels and ensure that customers are updated should any further restrictions be required.
The restrictions were necessary due to low water levels in the reservoir and to protect the daytime supply.
Shane Aylward of Uisce Éireann said, “The night-time restrictions were necessary to give the reservoir time to replenish and allow us to maintain the water supply to homes and businesses during daytime hours. We understand the inconvenience that restrictions had on our customers, and we want to thank the community for their patience.”
Uisce Éireann is committed to keeping customers informed across multiple platforms 24/7 and we encourage customers to engage with us through our website, X channels @IWCare and @IrishWater, on Facebook and LinkedIn and through our customer care helpline which is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278.

Previous Updates
Uisce Éireann wishes to advise customers in the Castlecomer area that overnight supply restrictions are required in order to conserve water and maintain a daytime supply.
Starting tonight, overnight restrictions will be in place from 9pm until 9am, until further notice. Homes and businesses are being asked to be mindful of their water usage to allow supply to catch up with demand and enable water levels to replenish.
Customers in the following areas may experience interruptions to supply, discolouration or reduced pressure during these times: Clogh, Ardra, Massford, Moneenroe, Coolbawn and Castlecomer.
Customers should allow 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time for supply to fully return.
Speaking about the restrictions, Uisce Éireann’s Shane Aylward said: “Due to significantly low reservoir levels these restrictions are necessary in order to maintain and protect a daytime supply. We understand the inconvenience that restrictions cause and want to thank the community for their patience.”
