Not a great day to be without water as Met Eireann has warned that new May record temperatures of over could be seen in some parts of the country, with CarlowWeather.com saying it got over 25 degrees Celcius locally.
Carlow County Council and Irish Water are apologising for the inconvienience but asking locals to continue to observe hand-hygiene to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
