Water warning as supply is hit HOUSEHOLDERS across a wide area of Waterford county have been asked to save water following a “technical issue” at a treatment plant. The plant services the Ballylaneen, Kill and Bonmahon Water Supply Scheme. Irish Water and Waterford City and County Council are asking customers in the Kill, Ballylaneen, Bunmahon, Ballyvadden, Kildwan, Ballinasissla, Annestown and Kilmurrin areas to conserve water. In a joint statement they say: “It is important to continue to follow the HSE guidance on hand washing at this time and while handwashing remains a priority, simple water conservation efforts can have a big impact on reducing demand on the supply. “Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth and shaving can save up to six litres of water per minute. Taking a shower instead of a bath, or using a watering can rather than a hose

when gardening can also make a big difference in water use. “We are also reminding people with responsibility for properties that are currently unoccupied to check for leaks and turn off water where it is not required.” There are tips on how to conserve water in your home at https://www.water.ie/ conservation/. To assist nondomestic customers preparing to re-use buildings after a period of closure, Irish Water has launched a new section on water.ie . A number of issues can arise when buildings are left un-used. These include leaks, blockages in pipes from fats, oils or greases; dead rodents in water tanks that can cause contamination and stagnant water in plumbing and cooling systems that can create serious health risks such as Legionnaires’ disease. Full information, as well as a booklet are available on https:// www.water.ie/for-business/ covid-19-reopening-business/.
