    Is anyone else having water shortage problems in Monksland/River Village area?

    Our water is off, tried calling the council but getting no answer.

    Thats what we are told anyway! lol

    Yeah, it is actually. There just seems to be more people from this part of town post in the westmeath forums, so thought I would have a better response... hmmm, looks like I was wrong.

    Anyway, the water came back on an hour later so was no big deal.

    Same here with the water thing. My row completely dry till about 4 o clock

    The water thats been pumping since looks disgusting though so ive been boiling it since.

    And yes it is Roscommon unfortunately. Loser county that's biggest town will soon be Monksland. In protest, i always put my address down as Co. Westmeath - sure im only 200 metres from the border (Shines) anyway

    The water is not bad, no real difference. Presure is a bit less than it was but other than that its fine. Altho we boil all the water here anyway.. must be the half hourly cups of coffee!! Hooked I tells ye!

    The Athlone side was always in Connacht, and Roscommon, until 1898. And we'll get it back someday

    you don't know your history mate

    Who me?

    You would be right tho... cause im not originally from Athlone.

    Not sure what you mean by Athlone side. Dont you mean Connacht side?

    Not argueing with ye, just curious really. Its nice to know some history of the place you live.

    Cheaper. And not far from the border. Dont worry - i wont be going near Boyle/Tulsk etc anytime soon. Monksland was a wasteland up to circa 5 years back but thankfully has been upgraded to east Athlone standards since.

    Sure it is... So long as the postman still finds me with the Westmeath footer on my address, i dont see much need to change it. Fight the Boyle-biased Roscommon council! :D

    right, except the Co. Council is in Ros town.

    I knew where I'd prefer to be living - Connacht and Roscommon. not the hole that is west-meath
