Galway Bay fm newsroom - We're being urged to conserve water as the heatwave continues to put pressure on supply across Galway.

Night time restrictions will be implemented on Inis Mór from 10p.m to 7a.m from next Monday July 2nd as water usage on the island has increased by 40 per cent in the past week.

Water restrictions will continue from 11p.m to 7a.m on Inis Oírr and for Ballyconneely Water Treatment Plant.

Demand in Tír an Fhia/Leitir Mór has also increased significantly and some areas are experiencing outages.
