Clare County Council confirmed this afternoon that demand for water is still exceeding supply capacity on some water supplies in the County.
The local authority’s leak detection and repair crews will be working constantly through the New Year weekend (assisted by Contractors) throughout Clare. The Council telephone lines are also operating over the weekend
In order to conserve the supply the council is taking the following actions.
Water will be cut off until further notice at the following locations and at the time specified:
- Doora, Barefield, Crusheen, Lahinch Road, Shanaway Road. Clare Road(area around St Flannan’s College) Tulla Road including Spancilhill Group Water Scheme and Gort Road, Quin Road (from Railway Bridge out) Ennis from 8.00pm to 8.00am
- Shannon, Newmarket on Fergus, Sixmilebridge, Kilmurray, Kilkishen, Bunratty, Cratloe, Quin and Tulla from 10.00pm to 10.00am
- O’Briensbridge, Clonlara, Broadford, Shannon Banks, Westbury, Parteen, Ardnacrusha, Coolisteigue from 8.00pm to 8.00am
- Corofin, Ruan, Ennistymon, Lahinch, Liscannor from 8.00pm to 8.00am.
Standpipes will continue to operate at the following locations from 10.00 am to 12 noon each day until further notice:
- Ennis/Clarecastle: Cappahard, Tulla Road; Health Centre, Clarecastle
- Shannon: Gleann an Oir
- Cratloe: Wood Cross from 1.00pm to 3.00pm each day until further notice
Tankers will supply water to the following locations each day until further notice at the time specified:
Lahinch: The Promenade, 2.00pm to 4.00pm
Ennistymon: County Council offices, 2.00pm to 4.00pm
Cratloe: Portdrine, 10.00am to 11.00am
Cratloe: Ballybroughan, 11.00am to 12.00 noon
Cratloe: Woodbrook, 1.00pm to 3.00pm
Quin: Quin Village, 10.00am to 12.00 noon
Doora: Near church, 2.00pm to 3.00pm
Crusheen: Village centre, 4.00pm to 6.00pm
The Council’s 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 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.
The supply situation is improving and will be back to near normal within approximately 3 days with some isolated exceptions.
