Limerick County Council Issues Water Services Update

Limerick County Council has warned of ongoing disruption to water supplies throughout the county.

Following a meeting of the local authority’s Crisis Management Team this morning it was decided that due to a reduction in the amount of storage available in reservoirs, regular night-time restrictions in service can be expected until water levels are restored to normal.

In addition, due to breakages in water mains, unannounced disruptions to water supply can also be expected during daytime hours pending the repair of such breakages.

Customers should also be aware that those water users located at the extremity of water mains, or in elevated areas, are most likely to experience interruption to supply.

Property owners are requested to inspect vacant/closed premises and address any leakage issues detected.

Limerick County Council is requesting all water users to continue to conserve water supplies during this recovery period.

Boil water notices continue to apply to the Abbeyfeale, Kilmallock and Newcastle West Water Supply Schemes
