Kilcash supply on night time restrictions from 8pm to 8am commencing tonight – supplies dangerously low
Night-time water restrictions are being introduced for Kilcash public water supply.
Irish water is urging people to reduce their water usage as supplies continue to come under pressure.
The restrictions will be implemented from 8pm to 8am commencing tonight and will continue until further notice.
Certain customers, depending on their location on the network, may take additional time for their supply to return. Due to extremely low levels of water on the Kilcash Supply night-time restrictions are required to restore reservoir levels and maintain daily water supply to customers.
The restrictions will take effect during this off-peak time, as there would be insufficient water supply to homes and businesses during daytime hours without some measures being put in place.
Irish Water describes the current water levels as dangerously low and hopes that the rain that is forecast for the coming days will help to improve the situation.
Irish Water is still urging the people across Tipperary to make every effort to conserve water as there are several supplies where capacity is extremely tight and there are also a number of schemes where customers are experiencing reduced pressure and intermittent supply.
“Higher than normal water demands can cause network performance issues in localised areas on schemes.High usage can lead to pressure reduction and intermittent supply.
One such area is part of the Fethard Regional scheme; namely Moylass, Arbourhill, Killenaule and Ballinure.
Any reduction customers can make in their usage can collectively result in major improvements for all customers.”
Areas under severe pressure and where customers are experiencing impacts such as reduced pressure and intermittent supply include; Carrick on Suir (Crotty’s Lake Supply), Coalbrook, Tullohea, Kilcash, Glengar, Templemore and Templetuohy.
Also parts of the Fethard Regional Supply network including Moglass, Arbourhill, Killenaule and Ballinure.
