An urgent meeting between Clare County Council and Uisce Éireann is being sought to ensure the county’s tourism-dependent regions can enjoy adequate water supply going forward.
Following supply interruptions in West Clare due to a burst main on the Old Doolough supply on Sunday, Uisce Éireann has confirmed supply has been returned to customers in Miltown Malbay, Spanish Point, Quilty, Mullagh, Coore, Creegh, Cooraclare, Cahermurphy and surrounding area.
With fears having been expressed that outages could be experienced during the upcoming Willie Clancy Week, the water utility has claimed there are no planned outages in the area from July 6th to 14th.
It’s also been confirmed that plans are in place to have water tankers on standby for the duration of the festival.
Cathaoirleach of the West Clare Municipal District and Doonbeg Fianna Fáil Councillor Rita McInerney has been telling Clare FM’s Seán Lyons she believes engagement is needed with Uisce Éireann to ensure they appreciate the importance of reliable water supply in West Clare.
