Nine supplies in the region are currently suffering from drought.
An increase in domestic water use and the recent dry weather has resulted in a hosepipe ban for the midlands.
Irish Water is enforcing the six-week restriction in effort to meet the high demand.
People are asked to put their hosepipes away and to avoid using paddling pools and washing cars.
John Gavin from Irish Water says there are up to nine water supply schemes in the midlands at risk of drought:
