Summary
Irish Water just slapped a six-week hosepipe ban on six counties — Dublin, south Tipperary, Meath, Wexford, Wicklow, and parts of Kildare — due to scorching heat warnings from Met Eireann. Meanwhile, 39 other areas face nighttime water restrictions, meaning slight flow interruptions but no car washes or kiddie pools. Four Galway spots — Glendollagh Lake, Derryclare Lough, Ballynahinch Lake, and Owenmore River — are off-limits due to chemical contamination threatening drinking water. A new yellow heat warning covers Connacht and more, warning of unsafe water, heat stress, and possible forest fires through Friday. Report violations via Irish Water’s website or hotline — it’s all about surviving the heatwave smartly. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
