Dublin City Council, on behalf of the four Dublin Local Authorities, wishes to announce that due to an increase in production at our Ballymore Eustace Water Treatment Plant, and improvements in storage at our treated water reservoirs, the water shutdowns and severe pressure reductions that have been in place since 30th October 2013, will be lifted from this evening.
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council wishes to thank its customers for their patience during the period of water restrictions, which we had to put in place over the past week. Due to the cooperation of all water users, we managed to save a significant amount of water and our regional strategic storage, which was at an extremely and unsustainably low level over the past week, has improved.
Storage at our treated water reservoirs is currently below the level it would normally be at this time of year. We will be keeping reduced water pressure in place in the evenings over the coming weeks, to gain additional treated water storage. This is normal practice at this time of year. This will enable us to plan ahead for the high demand Christmas season, and to cater for the difficulties that the onset of extremely cold weather at this time of year can bring. Water users should not be impacted by this reduced pressure and all users should receive a return of supply this evening.
Water is Precious, Let’s conserve it!
