Its to facilitate up-grade works at Srowland Water Treatment Plant

There will be a shut down at the water plant serving much of mid Kildare next week.

Irish Water is conducting essential works at the Srowland Water Treatment Plant, which include the installation of new pipework.

A plant shut down is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, July 7th, between from 8.30am and 5pm.

The network has been "reconfigured" to maintain normal supply to customers and treated drinking water reservoirs will be filled to their maximum in advance of the works starting.

Irish Water says it "does not envisage any water supply outages, however, we are appealing to customers in the following areas to conserve water as their drinking water supply is dependent on reservoir storage for the duration of the works: Kildare Town and surrounds; Carbury; Derrinturn; Naas; Athgarvan; Newbridge; Parts of Caragh; Kilmeague; Monasterevin; Calverstown; Nurney; Narraghmore; Ballitore; Prosperous and surrounding areas."

John O’ Donoghue, Regional Operations Manager, Irish Water says, “While handwashing remains a priority, we are asking customers in these areas to be mindful of how they use water. Simple water conservation efforts can make a big difference in reducing pressure on the supply such as turning off the tap while brushing your teeth and shaving, taking a shower instead of a bath, and using a watering can rather than a hose in the garden. 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.”
