Irish Water says it " does not envisage any water supply outages, however, we are appealing to customers in the following areas to conserve water as their drinking water supply is dependent on reservoir storage for the duration of the works: Kildare Town and surrounds; Carbury; Derrinturn; Naas; Athgarvan; Newbridge; Parts of Caragh; Kilmeague; Monasterevin; Calverstown; Nurney; Narraghmore; Ballitore; Prosperous and surrounding areas."

John O’ Donoghue, Regional Operations Manager, Irish Water says, “While handwashing remains a priority, we are asking customers in these areas to be mindful of how they use water. Simple water conservation efforts can make a big difference in reducing pressure on the supply such as turning off the tap while brushing your teeth and shaving, taking a shower instead of a bath, and using a watering can rather than a hose in the garden. We are also reminding people with responsibility for properties that are currently unoccupied to check for leaks and turn off water where it is not required.”
