15:15 19/01/10 - Notice for Customers

The overall water supply situation across the region remains critical, and further restrictions must be put in place until the water network is fully restored.

Further to our notice at 13:15pm, we are confirming that water is being temporarily restored to those areas which were affected by pressure reduction and water off notices yesterday evening. A "water restoration notice" is not intended to relay that the regional water supply crisis has been fully resolved but rather was intended to serve as an upate for those areas whose water supply was impacted last night.

We are happy to clarify this point.

Thank you for your continued patience and we will continue to provide updates via the Council's website and blog as soon as they become available.

13:15 19/01/10 - Water Restoration Notice

Water is being restored to those areas of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County which were without water or on reduced pressure overnight with the exception of Old Quarry Dalkey ( burst mains repair). However, it will take some hours for supply to be restored to all affected areas and in some cases even longer.


Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council contains a high proportion of older housing stock with associated older plumbing systems. Householders living in these older houses are likely to experience delays in the restoration of full water supply and in particular the re-filling of storage tanks.

Other problems, such as air-locking of pipes, can result in a lack of water in bathroom and toilet fittings. For further information on how to solve an air locking problem please refer to Advice on Getting rid of Airlocks

Water tankers will be in place today, Tuesday 19 January, in Cuala, Hyde Park Road, Dalkey from 12:00 - 19:00.

Mobile tankers available on request for nursing homes or hospitals. Please contact Water Services directly on (01) 205 4800.

20:30 - 18/01/10 Evening Review - Progress in some areas but no room for complacency

Senior Engineers have reported that significant progress was made over the weekend and throughout today in finding and fixing leaks across the County - many houses in the Killiney and Ballinclea area have now had water supply restored after full resources were deployed to identify and fix the source of the problem.

Engineers have warned however that there is no room for complacency - leak detection and repairs continue across the County and a number of households continue to have water supply problems. Every effort is being made to rectify the situation and tankers remain on stand-by to distribute water tomorrow in the Killiney/Dalkey area, Tuesday 19 January (see earlier post for times and locations).

Householders and businesses are being urged to sustain their efforts to conserve water, even though in many instances their supplies are already restricted - the priority must be to build up the capacity of the reservoirs to ensure the long term viability of the water network across Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.

Tanker Times tomorrow Tuesday 19/01/2010
