WATER SERVICE RESTRICTIONS continue across the country today as councils push to restore reservoir levels.

Water supplies in parts of Dublin, Meath, Westmeath, Galway, Sligo, Clare, Kerry, Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny and Laois are affected by restrictions and shortages.

In Limerick, boil notices issued at Christmas continue to apply to the Abbeyfeale, Kilmallock and Newcastle West water supply schemes, according to Limerick County Council.

Crews are working to repair damaged water mains, and The Irish Times reports that tens of thousands of people face shortages.

Local authority officials speaking to RTÉ’s John Murray this morning said they believe there are a lot of burst pipes which are leaking water, but said that councils were not responsible for repairing pipes at private residences.

They said people running taps to prevent pipes from freezing had contributed to the depletion of reservoir supplies.
