Athy Water Supply Tue 28th

Regrettably, water pressure and supply issues continue at a number of areas today Tuesday and are likely to continue tomorrow Wednesday.

A restriction to the regional water supply is now in place (affecting the Dublin and Kildare Road areas) and continues this evening until further notice. Water supply will be turned off each evening from 7.30pm to the following morning at 8am. Other areas in the town may also experience reduced pressure/ supply, as a result of this restriction.

The Town Council has made the following arrangements for water tanker/ stand pipes (at various locations) and will update these periodically on its website.

WATER TANKER SCHEDULE

A water tanker service is being provided as follows:

Tuesday, 28th December (PM)

- Ashville estate, Dublin Road 5.00pm to 6.00pm

- Coneyboro, Carlow Road 6.00pm to 8.00pm

WATER MAINS ACCESS POINTS

Water supply points (with taps) from mains supply have been set up at a number of locations throughout the town (subject to water pressure).

Currently the following 3 points are in operation:

- Emily Square (corner of Osborne's Solicitors);

- Coney Burrows, Coneyboro, Carlow Road;

- Fortbarrington Road (outside No. 73 Pairc Bhride)

The public can access water at these locations today Tuesday to 8pm and Wednesday from 8.30am to 8pm.

NB: As a precautionary measure water from these taps/ tanker should be boiled before using for drinking or cooking purposes. Please bring your own clean water container as the Town Council is not supplying containers.

Athy Town Council still continues to appeal to householders and businesses to conserve water. We also appeal to consumers to reduce their water consumption and in particular, people are asked not to leave taps running.

The Council is monitoring the water supply situation on an ongoing basis and will provide regular updates on its website http://www.athytowncouncil.ie/ and KFM radio.

If every household cuts back on their water usage by 10% this will have a significant effect on water availability and enable us to return to normal service sooner. www.taptips.ie
