Water being cut off tonight at 7pm?

sudename

Hi
A neighbour has told me that the water supply will be cut off tonight at 7pm. I live in the Ballinacurra area. Can't seem to find anything on 95fm about it.
Has anyone heard about this?

cheers

Announcement of Reduced Water Pressures in Limerick City


Wednesday January 6th, 2010

Limerick City Council wish to advise all water consumers that it is aware that some properties are still experiencing low water pressures or in some cases full interruption to supply.

This is as a result of the current severe cold weather. Some service pipes are still frozen and may have to await a rise in temperatures before resumption of normal supply. This is compounded in some areas by consumers constantly running taps during the frosty conditions.

Consumers are requested to check for burst pipes, running taps and generally to conserve water as much as possible to allow all to enjoy adequate water pressures. Residents are also requested to consider and check on their vulnerable neighbours during this difficult time.

Limerick City Council regrets any inconvenience caused to residents and traders during these low pressures and will endeavour to reinstate the water pressures as soon as is reasonably possible with the assistance of all consumers.

John O’Shaughnessy
Senior Executive Engineer
Limerick City Council

Is there any source where this can be verified? My parents live in the Ballinacurra area and have had no water for 4 days and I have been going over and helping them get water from a neighbour of their's.

The top guy in charge of water services in Limerick City & Council was on the radio today around lunchtime affirming that there are no planned disruptions to the water supply, and the situation was improving. Perhaps it has changed since then, but that is what he was stating at the time.

Has any place been made available for people to get water on a palce to shower?? We are all frozen up here and I hear loads of otheres are aswell

I know of people who have been taking the whole family to the local swimming pool for a wash. I presume they swim and then wash in the shower rather than lathering up in the hotel pool.

we have had no water since friday.

having to get in bottled water.

Was hoping to get some at a relatives house but they lost their water yesterday and it not likely to be back until wednesday.

i hear from my uncle that there was talk of water collection points for the people affected. can anyone confirm this or does anyone have info on where these points are?

There was another thread earlier that included this link about water collection points: http://www.live95fm.ie/news/news-item/schedule-of-hydrant-operation-locations-and-times/8b2057cf-ebb8-432b-9fcd-aa5084aade3b

i know its closed now but at least during the week til things get better he could go there. but i do think its like 10 quid or something to go in and thats bit costly if its just to have a shower. just my opinion but anyone is stuck for it thats always an option.

Thanks for the help but no good to me- he works in oil so baby wipes aren't gonna cut it and I already rang around all the gyms. Started ringing friends and relatives to see who's got running water and doesn't care too much about their bath.:D

thats all the pools in Limerick as far as i know. st endas would prob be the cheapest option if they are open. you might get lucky and somewhere could be running. maybe the hotels are the best bet.

Very kind of you but like I said I already rang round and gyms are closed at 8pm on Sunday. A friend kindly let us use theirs, so all sorted, we can use the gym tomorrow, it opens till 10pm.

Small amount hot water

Small amount of water+soap+face cloth+ oil man = waste of time and maybe a clean elbow.lol. Thanks anyways for the suggestion though.:D We got it sorted.
