MOTION: Councillor A. Edge

To request a report on the recent 3 day water outage in Bohernabreena, addressing how such outages can be minimised in future as well as how communication between Uisce Eireann, SDCC and the public is managed.

REPORT:

SDCC has been in contact with Uisce Éireann to enquire regarding any recent water outages affecting the Bohernabreena area.  Uisce Éireann have informed us that there was a outage over the weekend of 23rd and 24th of February affecting Bohernabreena, Montpelier, Piperstown, Glassamucky and surrounding areas.  They provided and updated information on this outage on their website and also notified all customers in the area via their text alert system, and also notified elected representative, as they worked as quickly as possible to resolve the outage.  Updates on the outage were notified throughout the weekend, and a tankered alternative water supply was provided at St Anne's church carpark.

Uisce Éireann is the national water services authority responsible for all public water supplies.  Members are reminded that Uisce Éireann have a Local Representative Support Desk which can be contacted at localrepsupport@water.ie
