Uisce Éireann is appealing to customers across Inishowen to conserve water. People are being asked to be mindful of their water usage, to ensure they continue to receive a normal supply. Reduced rainfall for more than a year has seen levels at local water sources in the area drop significantly.

Met Éireann data taken from the weather station in Malin Head shows that combined rainfall over the past 13 months has been 893mm. This is down significantly from the long-term 13-month average of 1,233mm, which means that we received 72% of average rainfall from September 2024 to September 2025.
