Uisce Éireann is introducing essential overnight water restrictions for customers in Clonroche.
The restrictions will be in place until 8am tomorrow morning (Thursday) to resolve ongoing technical issues and to allow the local reservoir levels recharge.
An alternative water supply will be available at Slí an Uisce and Canon Murphy Park in Clonroche from 1pm until 10.30pm tomorrow (Thursday).
Uisce Éireann makes every effort to ensure that the alternative drinking water supply provided, including the tanker / bowser, and dispensing tap, are adequately disinfected. However, as it is not practical to provide sterilised containers for the public to transport drinking water from the tanker to their homes, we cannot guarantee that any containers used by the public do not negatively impact or contaminate the drinking water. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it is recommended that any members of the public who obtain water from a tanker or bowser boil the water before use.
Padraig Lyng of Uisce Éireann thanked impacted customers for their understanding while this essential night time restriction is in place and appealed to them to be mindful of their water use.
“We acknowledge the inconvenience caused by night time restrictions such as this, but we want to assure affected customers that this measure is absolutely essential in order to preserve a full daytime supply for homes and businesses,” said Mr. Lyng.
