Essential overnight water restrictions required in Clonakilty, Co. Cork

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 Clonakilty, Co. Cork that it will be necessary to implement water conservation measures overnight to maintain daytime supplies following a technical fault at the water treatment plant.

In particular, high-ground areas will experience a reduction in pressure and flow during the restrictions. Uisce Éireann is working to restore the water supply as quickly as possible to impacted customers.

Restrictions are scheduled to take place from 10.30pm Monday, 07 April to 7am, Tuesday, 08 April, 2025.

Uisce Eireann regrets any inconvenience caused and is continuing to work to restore normal operations.

Niall O’Riordan, Operations Manager with Uisce Éireann said, “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 while we work to resolve the issue.”

Following return of supply, it typically takes two to three hours for normal supply to fully be restored to all areas as the water refills the network, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.
