There are currently 24 supplies impacted by shortages, including in Laois.
Irish Water is not anticipating introducing a hose-pipe ban in the short to medium term despite what it has described as the challenging conditions due to the prolonged dry spell.
It says the vast majority of its 750 water treatment plants continue to meet the demand for water supply.
There are currently 24 supplies impacted by shortages, including in Laois, and the utility company has implemented a range of measures including tankering and night-time restrictions to protect supplies.
Irish Water’s Head of Asset Operations Tom Cuddy said further measures may have to be introduced if water supplies come under further pressure:
