The pressure has gone now its only trickling out of mains tap tank in attic is now empty.

spotted a coco worker on station rd, he's coming up to crann nua to test pressure. I'll post when he calls up.

Co Co aren't officially back until thursday though.

Water filling point in town car park.

We have had no water since christmas eve.. it is a disgrace and there is no information even when you phone the emergency number, the girl asked me on the phone, why I didn't report anything as there is nothing reported for portarlington? sure who was I going to report it too.. we live in crann nua and I know 2 house who don't have any water either...

:mad:

In our cul de sac of 10, I know 2 houses are working.

Nobody came back from the co co either.

Still have low pressured water from the mains but i'd rather have a shower and flush toilets than drink tea. :mad:

irelandspurs

is your pressure still low kingdom?

i'm from lansdowne in portarlington and the water here has been out since yesterday midday any1 know if its coming back soon?

misslizzy175

Ours came back last night in Clanmalire and the ILs in Ballymorris got theirs back this morning. Himself asked the council worker that was going around yesterday and they just said it was frost in the pipes.

lastsplash

had plumber out today , told me while i have mains water in kitchen, attic tank cant refill due to poor pressure.
is this a general council issue or problem in Lansdowne?

irelandspurs

Have bit more pressure today but stil not enough to reach tank

irelandspurs

Just rang the council there now and they said there hoping to have the pressure back to normal today or early tomorrow.

ahhhhhhhhh congrats. try filling tank yourself, is a pain but worth it.

the lack of pressure means most newly built houses wont have enough pressus to reach the attic tank.... even pine villas single story houses cant fill their attic tank.

i found last night that as the demand dropped the supply pressure was enough to fill the tank. hopefully it will again tonight.

Hey , im in Kilnacourt and pipes froze on Xmas morning and water still not back. Everyone elses pipes that froze have come back but not ours. Does anyone know could there be a different problem or do they all take different lengths of time to thaw out. Thanks

irelandspurs

Our tank has filled up today so must of got small bit of pressure back.

irelandspurs

is everyones water back to normal now?

portgirl123

i wish, a bit more pressure but still cant even use the washing mashine

Water went tonight, managed to get shower in @ approx 1.30a.m., wife went to have one and the electric shower nearly blew up. Checked tank in attic and empty.

Wonder is it connected to the works going on on the road?

Have noticed since the freeze the water pressure has gone right down during the night just a trickle.
