Night time Water Restrictions to remain in place for the next three nights to deal with Water Supply Shortages

Dublin City Council wishes to advise customers that overnight restrictions to the City’s water supply will continue for the next three nights, up to and including Thursday morning.

For tonight (Monday 20th December) the times will be from 7pm to 7am. The Council hopes to be able to ease the starting time for Tuesday 21st December and Wednesday 22nd December 2010 but it will be tomorrow morning before this can be confirmed.



It remains Dublin City Council’s intention not to have any cut offs from 23rd to 28th December.



The following two nights (Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st December) are forecast to be very cold again. All water users are reminded of the need to continue to conserve water and not leave taps running. www.taptips.ie provides very simple steps that people can take at home and at work, to conserve water without adversely impacting on their daily lives.



Dublin City Council is grateful and appreciative of the public’s assistance and support in conserving water. With the current programme of nightly restrictions, the public’s co-operation in conserving water, and finding and fixing leaks, we are endeavouring to restore normal supply as soon as possible.

Ends.
