Hopes that LATE water restrictions could be imposed in the Ennis and Shannon areas for the New Year’s Eve festivities have been dashed .
Clare County Council says the demand is still exceeding supply capacity on most water supplies and it means the 8 pm shut-offs imposed last night will be repeated again tonight .
However there’s better news for party goers in North , South and South East Clare with the restrictions not set to take effect until after 11pm
Meanwhile,
There’s further bad news for water consumers experiencing ongoing difficulties with their supply as the Council estimates the problems could be in place for at least a further week.
