The hosepipe ban kicks in from today - here's what it means

The Greater Dublin Area, Westmeath, Sligo and Tipperary experienced their driest spring on record this year.

FOR THE NEXT six weeks, people will be limited in how they can use water.

Irish Water has put into force a National Water Conservation Order, or hosepipe ban, that will remain in place from today until midnight on Tuesday 21 July. 

Using water drawn through a hosepipe for the following reasons are now banned:

  • Watering a garden
  • Cleaning a car, motorbike, or van
  • Cleaning a private leisure boat
  • Filling or cleaning a garden swimming or paddling pool – except when using handheld containers filled directly from a tap
  • Filling or maintaining a fountain or domestic pond – excluding fish ponds
  • Filling or replenishing an artificial pond, lake or a similar body of water.

People should consider doing these activities using rainwater instead.

Aldi is advising customers that its inflatable Ring Paddling Pool and inflatable Jumbo Paddling Pool will not go on sale this Thursday, 11 June due to the hosepipe ban.

Aldi has also decided to cancel all planned upcoming Specialbuys of this nature for the duration of the six-week ban.

Why is this ban coming into effect?

The weather has been extremely dry lately; Met Éireann has said that this was the driest weather in the month of May since 1850. The Greater Dublin Area, Westmeath, Sligo and Tipperary experienced their driest spring on record.

This causes problems for domestic water supplies however, due to an increase in demand for water. For the month of May, people all over the country increased their domestic water use by 20%, Irish Water data indicates.

During the June Bank holiday, the exceptionally warm saw an equivalent daily increase of water usage for an additional 200,000 people being used in the Greater Dublin Area. And it’s not just a Dublin problem – that trend is echoed across the country.

The dry weather has depleted water levels, with 27 of Irish Water’s 900 drinking schemes in drought and a further 50 in risk of going into drought.

“The last three months, this spring has been one of the driest on record and the projections from Met Éireann is that the dry weather is going to continue,” Niall Gleeson of Irish Water told RTÉ.

Irish Water estimates that a minimum of 100mm rainfall, spread over a number of weeks, would be required to replenish domestic water supplies – normal rainfall levels would be needed after that.

What about the pandemic?

The idea behind the hosepipe ban is to conserve water for more essential activities, like washing your hands, for example.

If you want to use water for gardening, you can save the water used to wash vegetables or dishes by collecting it in a bucket or basin in your sink, or collecting water by keeping a bucket or basin in your shower. 

The last hosepipe ban came into effect in July 2018, and was extended several times  due to extremely dry conditions. It remained in place in Dublin and other areas until September 2018.

    @Jim O Brien Tech: not an easy or cheap thing to do. There are 10,000′s of kilometres of water mains in our busy streets.
    .
    Watermains commonly are 100 plus years old, have small leaks every few metres at joints and if you fix a big leak the increased pressure just cause a leak down the road

    Ah come on, all the rain and flooding during the early months of the year and now a hosepipe ban. It’s a joke, there has to be a way of retaining some of the rainfall in a massive tanks and then filtering it so this doesn’t keep happening. The cost must be what’s stopping us.

    This is not a surprise but merely a other example of the absolute inertia in ireland when it co.es to recognizing problems and dealing with them. We have seen our population boom and not a single reservoir has been added to the system. Even disregarding the obvious changes to weather patterns which we have been witnessing it does not take any kind of genius to understand that more and more people sharing a limited supply of water is going to result in a shortage. We have plenty of rain for most of the year but insufficient storage capacity.

They could watch the container fill up, and overflow, when it rains, and as they continue to use the water throughout a dry spell, they could see their little reservoir diminish over a period of time! Dare I say it, it might actually be an education in itself!

    Plan for tomorrow not today, no foresight in all aspects of Government. Instead of wasting over a billion on meters they should have been repairing pipes not terrorising home owners over minor leaks.

    At times like this, I’m really happy with my rainwater harvesting system. 1200 gallons of water in an underground tank, garden never looked greener.

    So you can’t use a hose to fill a paddling pool but you can use the exact same amount of water it would take if you use a bucket? How is that reducing water usage?

    Up keeping a large community garden area having to use hose pipes will be easy.
    Run hose pipe to garden and fill water cans from hose.
