Demand for water is continuing to exceed supply capacity on most water supplies in County Clare.
Clare County Council says its leak detection and repair crews will be working constantly through the New Year weekend (assisted by Contractors) throughout the County. The Council estimates that about 1,200 consumers experiencing difficulties with no supply or very intermittent supply may be subject to supply problems for at least a further week.
In order to conserve the supply the council is taking the following actions

The Councils Emergency number (should only be used to report major bursts and leaks in public areas) is 087-4169496 which operates from 5.00pm each evening to 9.30am the next morning. This number is to facilitate emergencies only such as leaks in the public areas. From 9.30am to 5.00pm please contact the Council’s main office number at 065-6821616.
The Council is aware that many individual households do not have water in many areas of the county. The Council is working continuously to restore supplies to all areas.
The Council appreciates the patience of the public in dealing with these shut offs. Without the shut-offs supplies would be even more depleted. Consumers can expect a delay in resumption of supply after water is restored at the time indicated while the mains are recharging for several hours. Furthermore, consumers on the periphery of schemes or on high ground can expect even greater delays in restoration of normal supply and pressure. In this regard all consumers are again requested to use water conservatively to ensure greater supply to all.
