Important notification for all Water users in County Galway
URGENT UPDATES @4.00p.m. (21.12.10)
Notice of Disruption to Water Supply Gort
The Gort area will be without water for sometime today (21.12.10) due to a malfunction in the treatment plant last night due to the big freeze. It is hoped that the supply of water restored this evening but the a precautionery boil water notice is now back in place.
The Council apologises for the inconvenience caused to consumers.
Water Supply will be cut from 21:00 hours tonight until 09:00 tomorrow Wednesday in order to conserve supply. The actual time of the cut will vary depending on your area and your elevation. These night time cuts are likely to continue for a number of nights.
Galway County Council will endeavour to ensure disruptions are confined to night-time hours and apologises for the inconvenience caused. Consumers are urged to conserve water and ensure no taps are left running unnecessarily to assist in the speedy restoration of full supply.
Advice on Water Usage
With very low temperatures expected in the coming days, Galway County Council is again requesting all water users to reduce water use to the absolute minimum. The Council will continue to monitor the situation closely, and some night-time restrictions may be placed on supplies to conserve water & allow reservoir levels to build.
Unnecessary and excessive water usage will give rise to water shortages. On the other hand, minimising water demand in the home, business, and around the farm will help to prevent water outage. Everyone can play their part by ensuring that:
-
Taps are not left running or dripping
-
Vacant properties are checked for leaks or bursts, and repairs carried out where necessary.
-
Businesses, offices, or schools that may have been closed for the holiday period are checked.
-
Outhouses, field pipes and troughs etc are checked and leaks or bursts repaired.
-
If farm animals are indoors please shut off field connections to prevent bursts and leaks.
Regular updates will be posted on the Council’s website at www.galwaycoco.ie.
