"Water Restrictions To Be Implemented In Kildare
2010-12-27 14:43:36

Kildare County Council are implementing water pressure restrictions due to low levels of water supplies across the county.

These restrictions will come in to effect from 7 o'clock this evening until 9 am tomorrow morning.


Several leaks in water mains have been reported throughout the county today and the Council are trying to resolve these problems.

In the meantime, water tankers are being deployed in Maynooth, Naas, Leixlip and Athy."

Our water went sometime on Christmas morning- 2/3 AM probably, the pipe outside is still frozen solid. So if it does come back we probably won't know for ages! In Leixlip btw.

We have water but at a reduced preasure, not enough to fill the attic tank. From what I remember in January... Oldtown, Raphaels etc.. are on the end of the mains supply (?) and when its on low preasure there isn't enough to server them.

Anyone know where the water tankers in Maynooth/Leixlip are and when they are around?

From the kfm website. It said 9am today the water pressure should be back to normal. It was in my estate anyhow

The Raven.

The water pressure is back to normal in Castletown. It only went a bit low yesterday, but I haven't had any water (just the odd trickle), in any of the other taps etc. for a week. I have just managed to sort it now. I think the pipes may have been frozen in the attic during the very bad weather, but they ended up being air locked, so here is what I did:

I used part an old-fashioned plastic/rubber bath shower hose - the part nearest the tap. I turned on the cold bath tap and blew air up (I could hear the bubbles going up), being careful not to get the nasty water in my mouth. I then took the hose off and let that tap run for a while, but it wasn't the full pressure.

Next, I joined both of the top parts of the hose together and put them on both bath taps (making sure they were both turned off). I then opened the hot tap fully and started the cold tap running at medium strength, plugging the bottom of the hose with my finger. I kept this up for about one minute. The result of this was that the cold taps in the bathroom, and the WC were all working properly again.

Still no hot water taps running, so I repeated the last excercise once more and, surprise, surprise, everything is back to normal!! All taps working, hot and cold upstairs and downstairs!!

It is important to remember to let the taps run for a while after fixing the air locks, as the water is a bit brown.

As you will have guessed by now, I'm no expert on any of this, so if you don't hear from me for a while it will probably be because I have blown myself up trying to heat the water :eek::eek:!! Either that or I will have fallen asleep in the joys of a hot bath :cool::D!!
