    We've no water in Celbridge for at least the last 15 mins, I don't know how long it was actually gone for. Is anyone else the same? Does anyone know how long its going to be like this for?

    I think there all gone home from 5. The KCC website says there were emergency works carried out in Maynooth and the water went at 9am this morning, and it was restored at 4pm. Nothing about Celbridge though. There was also a leak in the mains in Celbridge 3 days ago and water was cut off temporarily.

    Just tried their Emergency Number (1890 50 03 33). There's an automated message saying it's been switched back on again but that it'll take a while to re-distribute.

    still waiting for that redistribution.... They picked a hell of a weekend for this.

    Why? :S and they didn't pick it, it was emergency work to fix a problem that would have left us with no water anyway.

    We seem to have different problems so, are the council aware of this? Their phone line seems to say that its part of the maynooth problem and should be working by now.

    There was a problem with water in Maynooth from 9 untill 4, the water went in Celbridge at 6 and the council are insisting its just water re distributing to the homes that dont have any so they are not working on it. Even though Celbridge wasn't affected they are still saying it was.

    The reservoir for here is half way to Celbridge. Phone the emergency line anyways and listen past the message - there is usually a human there.

    water came back on in maynooth at around 4.30pm. It was a transparent white colour and fizzing slightly wtf? put it thru my water filter and the taste was slightly off too... :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,597 ✭✭✭WIZE

    I've tried a few times only got through there now, the supply to the resivor was turned off as the same time as the water to Maynooth, the water to Maynooth was turned back on just before 4 but the supply for the resivor was left off and it Completely emptied at the peak time just after 6. Its been turned on before 9. Its going to take at most 12 hours from now for the water to refill.

    If anyone can please turn off taps and everything so the water can get to a decent pressure by the morning. I need a decent shower after the one that was cut short earlier. :P

    I wonder if the KCC knows this.

    They know about it but very slow to react :mad:

    Hope to God it's back before 10am, promised my younger sister we could see Titanic 3D today, but if I cant wash I'm certainly not going to a film where most of the 3D effects will probably make it look like I'm "in" or "surrounded by" water =(
