Limerick City and County Council today (Wednesday, 30 September 2014) warned that water supplies to a number of Limerick businesses will be disconnected in the coming weeks.
The disconnections relate to the non-payment of water service charges dating back a number of years in some cases. The outstanding charges relate to businesses in Limerick City, as well as in towns and villages across County Limerick.
A spokesperson for the Finance section of Limerick City and County Council stated: “The businesses that face disconnection in the coming weeks have not paid outstanding bills or adhered to a payment arrangement to clear the liability. Having endeavoured to get engagement from the businesses concerned, Limerick City and County Council must now take this action in order to ensure the continued provision of services throughout Limerick."
"Limerick City and County regrets having to pursue this course of action but will do so if monies due on accounts are not cleared as a priority. Non-payment is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated."
"In the meantime, the Council is encouraging business owners that are in arrears that they should contact the council immediately in order to agree a payment arrangement,” the spokesperson concluded.
