    Just noticed this on the RTE website:
    1.21pm Dublin City Council says water production is at its peak, but demand is outstripping supply. It says water restrictions will have to be introduced.
    ...and this on the City Council website:
    Due to the cold weather the number of broken mains has increased dramatically. Our crews are repairing these breaks as they arise.
    To help us in this regard we would ask people to report any location where they see water rising or running.
    In some cases householders may be leaving taps running. This is contributing to the problem and we would urge people not to
    waste water in this way.
    We are asking consumers to assist us in maintaining the water supplies by restricting their use of water as much as possible.
    We will be reducing pressures throughout the system in order to conserve supplies. While we will try, as far as possible, to maintain
    pressures during peak demand periods pressures will be reduced at other times. This will result in lower pressures and in some
    cases may result in a loss of supply for a short periods of time.


    Does anybody know which areas are affected?

    There were DCC workers out asking if we were having water issues in Finglas West this morning.
