Irish Water is asking the public to be economical.

Uisce Éireann ag iarraidh ar an bpobal a bheith tíosach.

Irish Water is appealing to the public to conserve water from now on due to the hot weather.

Tá Uisce Éireann ag achainí ar an bpobal uisce a chaomhnú as seo go ceann scaithimh mar gheall ar an aimsir the.

The company says the heatwave is draining water supplies and is already causing drought in 31 watersheds in twelve counties.

Deir an comhlacht go bhfuil soláthairtí uisce á ndísciú ag an teaspach agus go bhfuil sé ina thriomach cheana féin i 31 abhantrach in dhá chontae dhéag.

The counties in question are Tipperary, Waterford, Offaly, Cork, Galway, Donegal, Meath, Kilkenny, Westmeath, Laois, Clare and Wexford.

Is iad na contaetha atá i gceist Tiobraid Árann, Port Láirge, Uíbh Fhailí, Corcaigh, Gaillimh, Dún na nGall, An Mhí, Cill Chainnigh, An Iarmhí, Laois, An Clár agus Loch Garman.

It is not an absolute drought and the water supply in those areas is “being managed”, the company says.

Ní dearbhthriomach atá ann agus tá an soláthar uisce sna háiteanna sin “á bhainistiú”, a deir an comhlacht.

However, Irish Water has declared conservation orders in three locations, namely, Mullingar in County Westmeath; Milford in County Donegal; and Kells- Oldcastle in County Meath.

Mar sin féin, tá orduithe caomhnaithe fógartha ag Uisce Éireann i dtrí áit, mar atá, An Muileann gCearr i gCo na hIarmhí; Baile na nGallóglach i gCo Dhún na nGall; agus Ceanannas-An Seanchaisleán i gCo na Mí.

In addition, the company says that it may still be a drought in other places as well, including Dublin.

Ina cheann sin, deir an comhlacht go mb’fhéidir go mbeadh sé ina thriomach fós in áiteanna eile freisin, Baile Átha Cliath ina measc.

Temperatures are expected to reach 28 degrees in parts of the country from now until at least Saturday, and people across the country are being urged to be water-efficient while the heatwave lasts.

Meastar go mbeidh an teocht chomh hard le 28 céim in áiteanna sa tír as seo go Dé Sathairn ar a laghad, agus táthar ag iarraidh ar dhaoine ar fud na tíre a bheith stuama tíosach ó thaobh uisce de fad is a mhairfidh an brothall.

Despite the fact that this country receives a lot of rainfall, Irish Water says that a lot of it is lost due to the poor condition of the national water network infrastructure and much of it being outdated.

In ainneoin go dtiteann go leor báistí sa tír seo, deir Uisce Éireann go gcailltear go leor di mar gheall ar an drochbhail atá ar infreastruchtúr an líonra náisiúnta uisce agus cuid mhór de seanchaite.
