Waterford hosepipe ban remains in place for another month

The hosepipe ban remains in place until September 16.
Uisce Éireann is reminding customers in Waterford that a Water Conservation Order, commonly known as a hosepipe ban, is still in place until September 16.
The restrictions include the use of garden hoses and other non-essential water uses.
The Order was put in place following a long period of dry weather combined with high demand, placing severe pressure on water supplies.
"It was essential that a Water Conservation Order was introduced to reduce the potential of restrictions and outages over the coming weeks and months," a spokesperson said.
