Water Services:: Phased Shut Offs

Sully

Only got noticed about this now through a neighbour and on checking the council website, there will be phased Shut Offs of Water in the county including Tramore

Date: 27 Dec 2010
Owing to frost damage interruption to water supplies is unavoidable and restrictions are operating in a number of areas. Extremely high demand is adversely affecting reservoir levels and in order to minimise disruption overnight cut-offs will operate in some areas. The following supplies have been affected:

East Waterford Water Supply

With effect from 2.00p.m. on Monday, 27th December, 2010 phased shut offs will affect the following areas, while leak detection work is ongoing:

Tramore
Dunmore East
Crooke
Passage
Cheekpoint
Faithlegg
Butlerstown
Portlaw Water Supply

Overnight shut offs will operate from 7.00p.m. each evening until 7.00a.m. the following morning, with effect from Monday 27th December, 2010, until further notice

Garranbane & Knockateemore (Deelish Water Supply)

Overnight shut offs will operate from 7.00p.m. each evening until 7.00a.m. the following morning, with effect from Monday 27th December, 2010, until further notice

Lismore Glencairn & Surrounding Areas

Overnight shut offs will operate from 9.00p.m. each evening until 8.00a.m. the following morning until further notice

Tallow Water Supply

Council crews are currently working on a major break in Tallow (Monday 27th December) there will be an interruption to the supply while detection and repair works are carried out.

Conserver Water, Check for Leaks and Repair Services

Waterford County Council is appealing to water consumers to conserve water in order to minimise disruption to supplies. The Council is also asking consumers and key holders of holiday homes and commercial properties to check individual properties for leaks and to effect repairs as quickly as possible.

Update::

Overnight shut-offs which applied to the entire scheme on Monday 27th, will apply to the town of Tramore only tonight (Tuesday 28th December) from 8.00p.m. until 9.00a.m. tomorrow (Wednesday 29th December). It will take time for pressure to build in the mains following shut offs hence consumers in elevated areas may experience delays before supply is restored in the morning. All areas on the East Waterford Water Supply can expect low pressure today and tomorrow. Rotational Shut offs will operate during the day tomorrow, but will not commence before 1.30p.m. to allow consumers the opportunity to use appliances and replenish drinking water. Crews are currently working on the Shanakiel/Dunmore East service repairing a major leak and consequently supply in this area is switched off at present. It is anticipated that this issue will be resolved tomorrow . Repairs in other areas of Tramore town are ongoing.
