Customers supplied by the Galtee Regional Public Water Supply are experiencing low pressure or loss of supply.
According to Uisce Éireann this has been caused by an operational issue at the water treatment plant resulting in low levels in the reservoir.
Remedial works on the Galtee Regional supply have been delayed due to strike action arising from a dispute between the Unite trade union and seven local authorities including Tipperary County Council.
It’s over the lack of assurances that council staff will retain their public sector status if their jobs move to Uisce Eireann. A boil water notice is already in place for the Galtee supply.
Reservoir levels are currently low due to an issue at the water treatment plant which has led to either low pressure or loss of supply in a number of areas including Emly, Lattin, Ballinard, Cullen, Ballywire, Kilross, Limerick Junction, Monard, Lisvarnane, Rosadrehid, Bansha, Tankerstown, Kilfeacle, Golden, Cashel, Rosegreen, New Inn and surrounding areas.
