<h3>Overnight water restrictions could continue over the weekend as the county is set to heat up today (Thursday), tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday with maximum temperatures&nbsp;of 27 to 29 degrees.&nbsp;</h3>
Last night (Wednesday),&nbsp;Irish Water imposed a water restriction in the Breanlee, Mid-Kerry, and Milltown Water Supply Schemes, between 11pm and 7am.
Barleymount, Knockavota, Milltown and Aghadoe, along with some surrounding areas, were affected also.
Killorglin town centre which is&nbsp;in the throes of Puck Fair, was not affected, although some outlying areas might be.
The restrictions on these schemes are required to give the reservoirs time to replenish and are necessary during this off-peak time, as there is a possibility that there could be insufficient water supply to homes and businesses during daytime hours without some measures being put in place.
Irish Water and Kerry County Council are closely monitoring water levels in a number of areas in the county and taking remedial measures to maintain normal supplies, however, the public is still being asked to assist by taking some simple steps to reduce their water use.
&ldquo;Irish Water understands the inconvenience of these restrictions on the people in Breanlee, Barleymount, Knockavota, Milltown, and Aghadoe areas, but it is necessary to maintain reservoir levels and ensure a sufficient water supply to homes and businesses during normal working hours,&rdquo; Oliver Harney of Irish Water said.
&ldquo;We would ask the public to continue to conserve water over the coming days. It can sometimes be difficult to know where to start, but even small changes can make a significant difference &ndash; and we can all play our part. By reducing the water used, for example turning off the hose and avoiding power washing, we can all help ensure there is enough water for everyone as we go through the rest of the summer.&rdquo;
