Water outage at Swords and Castleknock
Tuesday, July 19, 2011
The follow is an update on the water outage in part of Swords and also an outage at Casteknock.
Swords Area: Ridgewood & Boroimhe Water supply to both these areas went off unintentionally last night. Water pressure in the network is building slowly, as a result it will be later this evening before water is restored to Ridgewood and Boroimhe Estates. A static tanker has been put into Ridgewood Estate (beside Tesco) and in Boroimhe Estate (at the Shopping Centre) in order to facilitate consumers who are without water. When the supply is returned it may still be reduced or intermittent over the remainder of the evening and for a time tomorrow. Accordingly it is important to conserve water as much as possible during this time.
Castleknock Area: Due to a fault with the pumps in this area there is water loss to Castleknock Lodge, College Road, Georgian Village, Oak Lodge. Water should be restored in the next two hours.
Malahide Water Supply Restrictions
Monday, May 30, 2011
Due to high demand, the water level in Malahide Reservoir is very low. Consequently it is necessary that the following measures be taken tonight to assist the recovery of the Reservoir.
Grand Hotel to Robswall along the Coast Road:
Water supply to this area will be turned off at 8pm tonight and will be back on at 7.30am tomorrow morning.
Estates that will be affected include: The Golf Links, The Moorings, Island View, Muldowney Court, Lambay Court, Biscayne, Robswall and Seapark. Some other Estates bordering this area may also be affected.
Malahide Village & Surrounds:
Water supply to this area will be throttled from 8pm to 8am. This will result in low pressure and possible loss of water especially in higher areas.
Naul Area & vicinities around Nags Head Crossroads: Due to low level water supply at Hollywood Reservoir water will be switched off from 9pm tonight until 7am tomorrow morning. When water is turned back on tomorrow morning, high level areas will take longer for water to be restored as it takes time for pressure to build back up in the Network.
Areas affected: Naul Village, Hynestown, Curragh West, Malahow, Damastown, Fanning’s Wall, Spring Hill, Rath Great & Rath Little, Kitchenstown, Lecklinstown, Hollywood Little, Gerardstown, Clonswords and Westown.
Consumers are asked not to stockpile water (i.e. filling of baths, large containers, etc.) during this period as to do so, prevents the recovery of the Reservoirs.
Please Note the following message has been posted on the website and Aertel
General Fingal Area: The weather forecast for the upcoming Bank Holiday Weekend is promised very good. Consequently there may be a higher than usual demand for water. Consumers are reminded that drinking water (i.e. treated water) is a finite resource and are asked to adopt the good neighbour approach and conserve water as much as possible.

More bad news for water supplies in Malahide/Portmarnock
Thursday, September 9, 2010
Works were carried out last week to try to locate a major underground leak on the water supply network in the Malahide/Portmarnock area. Our crews narrowed down the search area to approximately 1km of pipeline and postponed further works until now.
There will be disruption to the water supply in the Malahide/Portmarnock area tonight between midnight and 5am as our crews will be “stepping” the area in an effort to locate the leak. If the leak is located tonight a decision will be made on whether to carry out the repairs tomorrow or postpone them to a later date. This decision will depend on the severity of the leak and whether or not there is a threat to the reservoir level in the short term.
If the leak is not located tonight, further step testing will be required after the weekend.
Further information will be provided tomorrow with regard to the outcome of tonight’s step testing process.
