Essential overnight water restrictions in Clara and Ferbane to protect daytime supply

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Uisce Éireann is advising customers in Clara, Ferbane, and surrounding areas of essential overnight water restrictions due to a mechanical fault at the Clara-Ferbane Water Treatment Plant.

To maintain daytime supply for homes and businesses in Clara, Ferbane, Doon, Shannonbridge, Shannon Harbour, Belmont, and nearby areas, restrictions will be in place from 11 pm to 7 am starting tonight and continuing over the weekend.

James Joyce of Uisce Éireann said the restrictions are being carefully timed to cause as little disruption as possible to customers.
"We understand nighttime restrictions can cause disruption, but they are necessary to maintain a daytime supply. A mechanical fault at the Clara-Ferbane Water Treatment Plant has put extra pressure on the production of water. Our crews will be working throughout the weekend to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. 
In the meantime, we’re asking all customers to use water wisely. Simple steps at home, in businesses, and in gardens can make a big difference in helping maintain regular supply across the area.” 

For those looking to track their progress and learn more about water conservation, Uisce Éireann has developed an easy-to-use conservation calculator that allows individuals to monitor their water usage.
