About this episode

A nationwide hosepipe ban takes effect across all 26 counties due to severe drought conditions.

A nationwide hosepipe ban kicks in this Friday, hitting all 26 counties until August 26th—no lawn watering, car washing, or pool topping off allowed, though buckets and cans are still OK. Despite rain on the horizon, Uisce Éireann warns it won’t offset the severe drought, especially in the southeast, where soil moisture is critically low. Record heat has driven up water demand, straining public supplies and even some underground sources. High-pressure areas like Dublin and popular coastlines are under the most strain. Everyone’s asked to conserve—every drop counts—since the ban only applies to public water users, not private wells.
