Dublin City Council will this evening lift the water restrictions that have been in place since 30th October 2013. Production at DCC’s Ballymore Eustace Water Treatment Plant and improvements in storage of treated water reservoirs is allowing for the restrictions to be removed. Thanks to customers across the entire Dublin region for their patience during the period of water restrictions and through whose efforts a significant amount of water has been saved and our regional strategic storage has improved.

Water is Precious,Let’s conserve it! Mary
