Information from county and city councils on water supply, disruption and restrictions. This will be updated with the latest information as we receive it. (Council website links at the end of the page)
Cork City Council
Demand for water remains high across the City network. City Council crews are working to repair leaks on the mains and property owners are again requested to repair leaks on their properties as quickly as possible. Water supplies should be turned off pending repair of leaks. Customers are advised that leak repair work can give rise to temporary disruption, pressure fluctuations and temporary discolouration.
During the present restrictions all consumers should now be receiving a daily refill supply to their properties. This should be adequate to refill storage tanks during the time of supply. If you are not receiving a water supply the likelihood is that the problem may be internal to your system.
Water Restrictions
In order to maintain supplies, the City Council will continue night restrictions over a number of areas which have very high leakage levels. These are detailed on the attached PDF document.
Supplies will be restricted from 7 p.m. this evening (29th December 2010) and again tomorrow evening (30th December 2010). Supplies will be restored from 10 a.m. each morning and water should begin to return to affected areas from this time. While it will take a number of hours to restore supplies to some of these areas, all such areas will receive sufficient mains supplies each day to refill storage tanks in houses and other buildings. The number of areas affected will reduce as demand returns to normal.
Standpipes
In order to assist householders with supply difficulties, stand pipes remain in place at the following locations:
-Boreenamanna Road (east of the junction of Wallace Avenue
-Deerpark
-Commons Road (Blackpool Church)
-Old Youghal Road (By Collins Barracks)
-Old Youghal Road (by Glenamoy Lawn)
Stand pipes will be operational from 10am to 8pm today (29th December 2010) and from 10am to 8pm tomorrow (30th December 2010).
Householders
Individual householders in areas where water supply has been restored and who do not yet have water supply to their properties should be aware that this may be as a result of:
-Leaks in their service pipe/supply,
-Still frozen pipework or
-Airlocks in the internal distribution system
Cork County Council
Water supply update
While the situation is improving in many areas, there are still severe problems which are being worked on by council staff. Consumers are again asked to use water sparingly and property owners and key holders should check for leaks in unoccupied premises anf shut off the water if necessary
North Cork
Efforts to restore the supply in Mallow received a major setback last night when an ESB transformed blew near the water pumphouse at Dromore. Severe interruptions will continue in all areas except thr town centre. Tankers will continue to supply water daily at Church of the Resurrection & Bowling Green car park from 12.00noon to 4.00pm daily and also at Woodview Drive and Canon Sheehan Place from 12.00 noon to 5.00pm
In relation to Fermoy Water supply it will be at least 2 more days of shut downs before there is enough water to pump to the high tower so that supply can be restored to Baile Ard, Uplands & Strawhall. We have major leaks/bursts through out the town and we have our own crews and private contractors working on repairing them. Water will be back on from 10.00 to 11.30am at Pike Road, including St.Josephs & Rathcarraig.
Water will be turned off in Oliver plunkett Hill (including Beechfield, Mallow road, Rathealy Road at 12.00 mid-day today for 24 hrs. Water will back on at Duntaheen Area today from mid-day until 3.00 p.m. Water will be off in Clondulane from 4.00 p.m today to 9.am. tomorrow The Council has provided tankers supplying water at Baile Ard, Beechfield and at Rathcarrig from 12.00 to 4.00pm daily.
The Allow Supply (which serves Freemount, Dromina, Milford, Liscarroll and surrounding areas). The Freemount reservoir has recovered and supply should be restored to all areas today. Charleville supply also recovered and no further interruptions. Reservoir level has recovered somewhat but still low in Millstreet - further nightly interruptions can be expected. Laugt and Caherbarnagh reservoirs are empty and severe disruptions will continue today.
Kanturk reservoir is very low and it is expected that the supply will be off again tonight. There appears to be a serious problem with vacant premises. Newmarket can also expect some disruptions especially to the higher parts of the town.
South Cork
Inniscarra, Innishannon, Glashaboy are in full production and reservoirs are slowly building. Major leak located and repaired in Cobh yesterday has greatly improved situation there but Cobh demand remains high - pressure reduction will be employed at night but cut-off can hopefully be avoided.
Glanmire area will also have pressure reduction at night for a number of days yet. Macroom remains under significant stress and supply will be cut-off overnight (9pm-9am but may not make it to 9pm tonight). We have breaks in Rylane, Donoughmore and Grenagh that we hope to repair today. Carrigadrohid burst and is shut off-added complication is that it is fed from Macroom.
Myrtleville has been badly affected but we hope to have it resolved today.
West Cork
The water supply situation is still critical throughout the Western Division. Water production is at significantly increased levels, e.g. Glengarriff and Castletownbere WSS's three times last month's average, Clonakilty RWSS up 20%, Skibbereen RWSS up 60%, and Schull Area up 50%.
Water supplies to the following areas had to be curtailed last night to allow reservoirs to build up: Higher areas in Bantry, Ballylickey, Snave, Drimoleague, Rosbrin, Ballydehob, Dunmanway Town, Union Hall, Ringaroga, Sherkin, Ballylinchy & Butlerstown.
Many of these areas may need to be curtailed again tonight, though a significant number of leaks in private premises have been detected, the situation is improving but will remain critical for a number of days yet, possibly weeks in some areas.
There are particular problems on the south side of Bantry in the Gortacloona Area and temporary supplies of drinking water are being provided at Bantry Fire Station from 12.00 noon to 5.00 pm today and over the coming days at the Bantry Area Office.
Consumers are again asked to conserve water and check all unoccupied premises for leaking pipes.

Dublin City Council
The thaw has severely affected the water mains network. Water leakage has increased considerably and the situation remains critical with demand for water still outstripping supply. In order to stop the drop in treated water storage it is essential that we continue to impose restrictions.
The restrictions were extended in duration from last night. Details of the restrictions for tonight (29th Dec - 30th Dec) are given below. The restrictions have reduced demand but drinking water storage dropped yesterday (28th December).
It is likely that the current restrictions will remain in place throughout next weekend. However the situation will be reviewed on a daily basis and the restrictions may be altered as necessary.
Tankers were sent to the following locations today: (from 10:00am to 4:30pm)
Artane Castle, Shopping Centre (Off Skellys lane), Coolock.
Sports ground, off Middle Third & near Abbeyfield, Killester.
Northside Shopping Centre, Oscar Traynor Rd.
Shopping Centre, Off Lorcan Ave.
Aldi, Santry Avenue
Blackhall Place, Smithfield
St Margaret's Road (at Hampton Wood)

We have repaired nine watermain leaks over the past three days, however, we are experiencing alot of problems across the network which our staff are dealing with on a daily basis. The water network is more prone to leaks as temperatures rise after the severe cold weather and we will continue to repair leaks as they occur.
Naul, Walshestown, Ballyboghil, and Balrothery: We are still trying to secure the water supply in the reservoirs that serve these areas and as a result customers will have no water until the reservoir levels increase again.
Balbriggan Area: Jordanstown Reservoir is critically low at present and as a result we have had to restrict the water supply to the Balbriggan area from 10am this morning to 10am tomorrow morning(30th).
Garristown Area: We are still trying to secure the water supply in the reservoir following the mechanical fault with the pumps yesterday. We hope to have water restored to the area by late afternoon or early evening.
Water Tanker Locations: Static water tankers are in place at the following locations: Naul Village, Grand Hotel in Malahide and at Casana Estate in Howth.
The water supply has been restored to the areas that were restricted last night, however, it can take a number of hours for all areas to get water back after an outage.

Longford County Council
The water supply for Longford Town and surrounding areas is fed from the Knockahaw Reservoir. Water levels are at a critical level at present. Last night it was necessary to shut off the water supply from 8.00pm until 8.00am this morning.
It is likely that the water supply will have to be turned off later today. While the Council is pumping water into the system as quickly as possible it has not been possible to reach the levels that are necessary in order to supply customers.
Customers who have not had water since before the thaw commenced are still experiencing problems related to frozen pipes. It is thought that the difficulties caused by the freeze will clear over the next two days. While the thaw is ongoing some pipes which are deeper in the ground are still frozen.
Customers who have had a water supply and who find that they no longer have water are being affected by falling pressure which is resulting from leaks and high consumption.
It is likely that water supplies in many areas will have to be restricted over the coming days in order to try to restore water levels.
Further updates will be posted on the Council's website as regularly as possible.
Customers are urged to please make every effort to conserve water today and in the coming days.
The Council regrets any inconvenience that is caused by disruptions to service.
Mayo County Council
Numerous bursts in the water supply networks and leaks in homes and businesses have increased usage to record levels following the recent thaw. This is placing enormous pressure on all of the various water supplies.
Householders have been asked to switch off all dripping taps and to avoid wasting water. The public are also requested to report leaks so that they can be repaired in order to protect supplies. Despite all of these measures problems persist and it has been necessary to apply restrictions in Achill, Bangor, Ballina and Swinford where the situation is very serious.

Athlone Water Supply Eastside
Despite the overnight shut-off of supply, reservoir levels are still critically low. One reason for this is that a large volume of water is being lost due to leaks between the water treatment plant and the Annagh Reservoir. To increase the supply to the reservoir, supply to the following areas will be cut off for the next number of hours today, Wednesday 29th December:
-Mayfield Grove

The Batteries Reservoir was opened this morning and emptied within 1 hour. It is currently closed to allow it to refill and will be reopened shortly at approximately 2.00pm when it is hoped water supply will resume.
Supply Shut-off tonight Wednesday 29th December
Due to the recent severe weather conditions and the depletion in treated water levels it is intended to close the outlet from the reservoirs in the Athlone Area tonight in order to conserve water and to allow water storage levels to be replenished in the reservoirs.
This will affect water supply to the all areas supplied by the Athlone Regional Water Supply Scheme & includes Athlone town & environs, Moate, Glasson, Ballykeeran.
Please Report all Leaks
Water consumers need to be aware that even though there is a significant thaw underway, it is taking some time to thaw buried water service pipes into individual properties. As water supplies return to properties, owner should continuously check for leaks within these properties. Westmeath County Council appeals to all persons to reports ALL LEAKS to Westmeath County Council at 044 9332000.
The exception cold weather followed quickly by the thaw over the last 2-3 days has resulted in a very significant increase in the number of leaks (large & small) on both public & private services. For example consumption of water (usage & leaks) has increased in the Mullingar scheme by over 30% in just a week.
In order to restore reservoir levels & to ensure that all parts of the county have a water supply tomorrow, Thursday, the Council will implement a series of planned service shut offs to ALL WATER SUPPLIES throughout Co. Westmeath tonight, Wednesday, & Thuirsday morning.
Water Supply – Mullingar Regional Water Supply Scheme
Due to the recent severe weather conditions and the depletion in treated water levels it is intended to close the outlet from the reservoirs in the Mullingar Area tonight in order to conserve water and to allow water storage levels to be replenished in the reservoirs.
This will affect water supply to the most areas supplied by the Mullingar Regional Water Supplhy Scheme & includes Mullingar town & environs, Kinnegad, Kilucan, Rathwire, Rochfortbridge, Kilbeggan/Ballinagore, Streamstwon, Tyrellspass & the rural districts around Mullingar.
Water Supply – Coole/Lough Lene Regional Water Supply Scheme

Water Supply – Generally
As the thaw sets in, water mains may burst following the recent severe weather. The Council is working to deal with these leaks as quickly as possible. It may be necessary for the Council to implement emergency shut offs without warning in order to ensure that reservoir levels are maintained and to facilitate repairs.
As we are experiencing leaks in the water networks, we would seek the co-operation of the public to notify us immediately if they notice such leaks occurring. The Water Services staff are continuing to work to restore full supplies to all consumers and are closely monitoring the networks for leaks in the affected areas.
Please Report all Leaks
Westmeath County Council requests all property owners, especially those properties empty for a few days, to check their water pipes & connections for leaks. Please report any leaks to Westmeath County Council at 044 9332000.
Regular updates will be posted on www.westmeathcoco.ie and on local radio. Westmeath County Council thanks the public for their patience and co-operation in the current emergency situation.
