WATER RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE IN CITY IF HIGH DEMAND CONTINUES

Date Published: 04-Jan-2010

Parts of the county are still experiencing water disruptions due to the cold spell.

A leak on a section of the public water main has left residents in the Barna area with no water.

Repair works are being carried out and the county council hopes to have the water supply restored as soon as possible.

Residents in Kiltullagh, Gurteen and Kilconieron are still having to source their water from tankers provided by the county council.

In the city water pressures are low and reservoirs have dropped to very low levels due to the increased demand over Christmas.

Director of Services for Water with the city council Ciarán Hayes is appealing to the public in the city to conserve water or restrictions will be put in place.
