End To Hosepipe Ban In Clare

Clare County Council announced today that the hosepipe ban introduced three weeks ago in the Ennis, North Clare Electoral Areas and the Tulla and Kiltannon District Electoral Areas will end at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, Friday 16th.

Water supply sources throughout the County have shown a modest recovery in recent days, and the unsettled weather is forecast to continue for the next few days.

According to David Timlin, Director of Environmental and Water Services: “The Council urges all consumers to continue to save water and be prudent in its use. The overall situation for water supply has improved slightly. However, we continue to ask all public water supply and group water scheme consumers to continue to minimise water usage. The Council appreciates the efforts made by consumers to reduce consumption to date”.
