The authorities' response to the extreme weather conditions in Dublin is to be reviewed.
Dublin City Council officials and public representatives will meet to examine how operations can be improved.
City Manager John Tierney said January had seen the coldest weather in 50 years while the weather in December had been the coldest for 150 years.
He said that the most salt used on the road in a week by Dublin city council had been 500 tonnes but during last December 350 tonnes had to be used in just one day.
He said by the end of December the council had used a total of 3,900 tonnes.
Mr Tierney also said that water levels were being built up in case of another cold weather event before the end of February.
He said water restrictions would be reviewed on Wednesday.
Many councillors, including representatives from Artane, Crumlin, Ballyfermot, Finglas and Killester, complained that some areas had suffered more than others.
Fianna Fáil Cllr Deirdre Heney said it was hard to keep telling householders that they were suffering more loss of water because they were on higher ground and she called for a fairer distribution system.
Councillors at this evening's monthly meeting passed a motion calling on the government to provide funding to improve the water system.
The review group is expected to have its report ready in March.
Water restrictions are due to continue in Dublin until Wednesday at the earliest.
Dublin City Council said there will be pressure reductions and cut-offs in the water supply from 7pm to 7am both tonight and tomorrow night.
The situation is being reviewed as schools reopen following the holidays.
The council is continuing to monitor the production of water and the demand for supplies.
A spokesperson said it is waiting until reservoir levels reach between 700 and 750 million litres before water restrictions can be lifted.
On its website, Fingal County Council states that overnight restrictions will remain in place from 7pm to 7am.
Malahide, Portmarnock, Balbriggan, Bremore, Balrothery, Clonsilla, Porterstown, Clonee, Barnhill, Westmanstown, Lucan, Littlepace, Castaheany, Huntstown, Hansfield/Ongar, Mulhuddart, Blanchardstown and Kinsealy will be affected.
Meanwhile, Leitrim County Council has said that there will be night-time restrictions in the North Leitrim Scheme until further notice.
