Reservoir Interruption – Tipperary
A reservoir interruption may cause supply disruptions to Coalbrook, New Birmingham, Knockabritta, Killenaule, Ballingarry, The Commons and surrounding areas in Co. Tipperary.A water tanker is available at Earlshill and Kilbraugh until 6pm on 5 June.Irish Water make every effort to ensure that the alternative drinking water supply provided, including the tanker / bowser, and dispensing tap, are adequately disinfected. However as it is not practical to provide sterilised containers for the public to transport drinking water from the tanker to their homes, we cannot guarantee that any containers used by the public do not negatively impact or contaminate the drinking water. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it is recommended that any members of the public who obtain water from a tanker or bowser boil the water before use.
Works have an estimated completion time of 6pm on 5 June.
Supply may take 2-3 hours to fully return to all affected properties.
