Uisce Éireann says the Galtee Regional Supply is under ‘ considerable pressure’ in this warmer and drier weather.
It would take several weeks of sustained rainfall to allow affected water sources to recover to normal levels.
There has been a notable increase in demand for water in this area of Tipp since the start of the summer arrived. With warmer, drier weather forecast, Uisce Éireann is appealing to everyone to conserve water to safeguard the water supply.
Uisce Éireann continues to closely monitor and manage all water supplies across the county, with a focus also on Coalbrook, Commons, Dualla, and Clonmel.
The company says it is taking measures to maintain normal supplies through interventions such as tankering to reservoirs and managing pressure but they are asking everyone in Tipperary to conserve water where they can.
The Galtee Supply, sourced from the river Muskry, serves over 10,000 customers across a large area of west Tipperary, including the villages of Bansha, Aherlow, Rossaddrehid, Lattin and Emly, as well as communities across Lisvernane, Longford pass, Cordangan, Aherlow, Ross Bog, Ardlomen, Mount Bruis, Kilross, Shronell, Glenbane, Cullen, Rosegreen, Mocklers hill, Ballyduague, Knockgraffon, Annegift, Kilbragh, Coolmoyne, Tullamaine, Miltownmore, Barretstown, Barretsgrange, Derrylusk, Ardsallagh, Rathbrit and Ballydoyle.
