Crews are on site working to resolve the issue as a matter of urgency
Uisce Éireann is advising customers supplied by the Allenwood Reservoir in Kildare that technical issues at the reservoir will impact water supplies to local customers from later tonight.
Crews are on site working to resolve the issue as a matter of urgency. However, it is expected that customers in the impacted areas will experience loss of supply from approximately 9pm this evening due to low reservoir levels. It may take up to 24 hours for normal supply to return to all areas.
Areas impacted will include Coill Dubh, Prosperous, Derrinturn, Kilmeage, Robertstown, Allenwood and surrounding areas.
While repairs are being carried out, alternative water supplies in the form of tankers will be made available at the following locations from 7am tomorrow:
- Prosperous National School, Curryhill, Naas
- Aylmere Court, Kilmeage (near the Old Dispensary)
- R403 Allenwood (parking bays adjacent to 120 / 120X Bus Stop
- Former Grand Canal Hotel, Robertstown (large gravelled area to the east of the hotel)
- St Conleth’s National School, Derrinturn
- The Village Arch Café, Coill Dubh (close to the archway)
Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from tankers and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure.
Uisce Éireann’s Eoghan Forristal has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible.
