Dublin to be hit by county-wide water cut

WE’RE HEARING this lunchtime that the four Dublin local authorities – including the city council and the county councils of Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown – will cut municipal water services from 7pm tonight until about 7am tomorrow morning, in an effort to conserve supplies after many householders began leaving taps running after the cold weather hit. The outage will affect an estimated 1.1 million people.
