Friday, 1 August 2008 – Limerick County Council has this afternoon issued a public drinking water conservation notice affecting hundreds of customers in Newcastle West and its environs.
The notice has been issued following the serious flooding experienced by the West Limerick town as a result of recent heavy rainfall. The Council confirmed that 93mm of rainfall, equivalent to a month’s rain, was recorded near Newcastle West over a five hour period late last night and early this morning. According to Donal Brennan, A/Director of Services Transportation & Water Services, Limerick County Council, ‘Due to recent flooding, the production of water at the Newcastle West Water Treatment Plant has been temporarily ceased. Limerick County Council is currently endeavouring to re-commence production at the plant. In the interim, we would ask members of the public in the affected areas to conserve water usage.’ ‘The Council wishes to thank the public for their support to date. However, in the meantime the public are asked to conserve water in the areas supplied by the Newcastle West Water Treatment Plant. A further update will be issued to the public and media later this evening’, added Mr. Brennan. The areas affected by the water notice include Newcastle West, Coolcappagh and Rathcahill, as well as the Ballyine, Dually, Reens Kilscannell, Old Mill Road, Killoughteen and Killeline Group Water Supply Schemes. -ENDS- FURTHER INFO: Mark Dunphy Dunphy Public Relations www.dunphypr.com This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it 00353-868534900 |
