Irish Water are appealing to everyone to be mindful of this, particularly in areas most under pressure in the west and north of the coun-ty.
Households, farms and businesses served by the Clonakilty Regional scheme, from Rosscarbery across to Timoleague and Courtmacsherry and all areas in between including Clonakilty itself, are asked to reduce water use where possible.
Irish water are appealing for similar water conservation efforts in Bantry, Durrus and Kilcrohane.
In the north of the county, communities, farms and commercial users in the areas of Kilbrin, Freemount, Liscarrol, Milford, Mountnorth, Cecilstown, Newmarket and Kanturk should also reduce water use as much as possible.
