Levels had fallen due to excessive and non-essential use in the area, with Irish Water and Wicklow County Council working quickly to restore supply to impacted customers.
Investigations into the supply interruption found that a hosepipe left running on private property resulted in reduced network storage levels and interrupted supply for others on the Water Supply Zone.
The vast majority of Irish Water's 750 water treatment plants continue to meet the demand for water supply.
Irish Water and Wicklow 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.

Kevin Love of Irish Water, said: "We have seen a big increase in demand in recent days including a hosepipe left running on private property resulting in reduced network storage levels and interrupted supply for others. We are appealing to everyone to continue playing their part in helping to conserve water, and particularly to avoid non-essential use such as running hoses or power washers.
"To help people learn more about saving water we have developed an easy-to-use conservation calculator so they can work out how much water they are currently saving and how they can conserve even more. The free calculator is available on the Irish Water website at www.water.ie/calculator where you can also find lots of useful water saving tips.
"We will continue to monitor the levels at all our supplies over the coming weeks and months and take any actions that may be necessary to maintain supplies, including communicating about localised issues as they arise."
