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.
