Irish Water is reminding residents in Enniscorthy to be mindful of their water usage again as work continues to identify the location of a significant leak in the town's water supply network that is resulting in the reservoir levels depleting.

Leak detection staff are actively working on the network and once the location has been identified, crews will carry out works to repair the fault as quickly as possible.

Last night, residents were asked to conserve water for essential daytime use with the public water supply turned off from 10pm to 5am this morning in the town centre areas and also in Cherry Orchard Road, Carrickabruce and The Still Pond.
