Limerick City and County Council says water levels along the Lower River Shannon at Castleconnell and Montpelier are continuing to fall slowly as a result of drier weather during recent days.
The Council confirmed that water levels are today (Saturday) 300mm (30cm) lower than they were at their peak during the Christmas period.
Council staff are maintaining a presence in Castleconnell and Montpelier where pumping operations are ongoing.
The Council has also received confirmation from the ESB of its decision to reduce the flow of water downstream from Parteen Weir from 470 cubic metres per second (cumecs) to 440 cumecs.
