Water supplies have dropped to their lowest level in 50 years.
The rate of water supply leaks in a Westmeath town is currently up near 40%.
A water conservation order comes into effect today Mullingar customers as well as Multyfarnham, Milltownpass, Kinnegad, Tyrrellspass, Kilbeggan, Rathowen and Moate.
It's due to Lough Owell water supplies dropping to their lowest level in 50 years through a combination of dry weather and steady demand.
Jim Fitzgerald, Regional Operations Senior Manager for Uisce Eireann says extra crews will be stationed in Mullingar:
