    Anybody in the Johnstown area of Navan having trouble with their water supply lately?
    Ours is gone this morning and has over the last 2 - 3 weeks been gone randomly with no notice from the Council

    I live out that side of the town and haven't had any water problems, If the council don't know about the supply being down i.e Leaks, broken pipes how they supposed to to give notice.

    Meath has the one of the highest water qualities in the country and considering the infrastructure or lack of that is "johnstown" i'm surprised there's any water supply at all out there.

    I'm down the road near SuperValu and have noticed reduced water pressure over the summer. Not aware of any works still ongoing re water mains though

    MCC seem to be avoiding questions. I suggest you ring a councillor, maybe Peadar Toibin who is active out there http://meathsinnfein.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21&Itemid=36

    Well maybe instead of avoiding the questions, maybe they don't know ;) It doesn't sound like something you'd be avoiding a question on.

    And you do have a wild choice of councillor available to you if that's the route for you;

    Navan Town Councillors

    Meath County Council Navan Area Councillors

    Meath Co.Council usually get notice in advance of any work being carried out by contractors, this way the council website www.meath.ie carries the details in advance for the general public. If the leak/pressure happened by accidentally digging or whatever MCC wouldn't know about it.

    Why doesn't someone ring the contractor and find out, then they can inform Meath Co.Council, local knowledge is the best form of knowlegde.

    Then we'll know why Little Dublin is having water problems....;)

    Im one of the very few people who has lived in Johnstown all my life and I can tell you its been going on for about 10 years now. The houses near Supervalu, in the main, dont seem to be affected. The majority of the time its the Old Johnstown area (Cill Foireann estate and the houses that are around the church). I rang cllr. Francis Deane, and once he got on to someone the water came back...
    but then went again. I think its got something to do with a resevoir.
