## Resource

Irish Water is enforcing a six-week hosepipe ban across Dublin, south Tipperary, and parts of Kildare, Meath, Wicklow, and Wexford starting July 16th to combat soaring demand during a brutal heatwave. No watering gardens, washing cars, or filling pools allowed—citizens are urged to report suspected non-essential use via hotline (without confronting neighbors) and check local maps by postcode. Failure to comply could lead to nighttime restrictions impacting hospitals and care homes. Water conservation is critical to protect essential supplies until August 26th.
