Water supplies continue to recover well – but appeal issued to conserve water

Published

on

Water supplies are continuing to recover well today (Tuesday) following a major burst main in the Kerry Central Regional Water Supply Scheme last week.

However, as Irish Water and Kerry County Council continue their work to restore water supply they are appealing to customers to conserve water as night-time restrictions may be needed over the coming days.

While water supply has returned to most of the areas impacted, customers located on higher grounds and on the extremities of the network may continue to experience temporary outages and/or low water pressure.

The public are being urged to conserve water and only use what they need. This will help with the ongoing restoration of water supply and help reservoir levels continue to refill across the county so that daytime water supply can be maintained.

“The recovery of water supply to all customers impacted by last week’s burst is going well," Anna Brosnan, from Irish Water, said.

"Dedicated water services crews are continuing their work to restore normal water supply today. We want to thank customers for their patience over the last week and ask everyone to make an effort to conserve water to help with the recovery phase and the ongoing restoration of water supply to all.”

In particular, she said they're asking the public to refrain from activities that use a large amount of water such as using power washers or watering gardens with a hose.

"We are also appealing to homes, businesses and those responsible for unoccupied buildings to check for leaks whilst adhering to current public health regulations and advice, to turn off water where it is not needed and report leaks they see on the public network to us."

There is a possibility that some customers may have airlocks in their internal plumbing. For advice on how to deal with airlocks please visit water.ie.

The customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact them on Twitter @IWCare with any queries.

For updates please see the water and supply services section of their website.

The usual morning routine was swapped for slippers and dressing gowns at Maggie’s Montessori last Friday as the children took part in the annual National Pyjama Day.

The local event was held in support of LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, and Early Childhood Ireland’s Eco-Emotions project.
The theme for the day was “children helping children and having fun,” with the Killarney toddlers joining over 65,000 children nationwide in the massive fundraising drive. Since its inception in 2003, National Pyjama Day has raised more than €4.5 million to support developmental and wellbeing projects for young people across the country.
Funds raised during the day at Maggie’s will go directly toward LauraLynn’s Family Support Services. These services provide essential emotional, therapeutic, and practical care for children with palliative and complex needs, as well as their families.
Teresa Heeney, CEO of Early Childhood Ireland, noted that the day is a celebration of kindness and community. This sentiment was echoed by LauraLynn CEO Kerry McLaverty, who stated that the spirit of children helping their peers aligns perfectly with the mission of the hospice.
