Uisce Éireann Extend Westmeath Hosepipe Ban

The Water Conservation Order will now remain in place until August 4th.

Uisce Éireann is extending the ongoing hosepipe ban for a Westmeath lake. 

A Water Conservation Order is remaining in place for customers of the Mullingar Regional Public Water Supply for an additional seven weeks, until Monday, the 4th of August. 

The utility says, despite cooler and wetter weather in recent weeks, water supplies at Lough Owel remain under significant pressure. 

Nationally twenty-one supplies remain in drought status.  

Uisce Éireann is monitoring and managing these areas closely.
