Addressing Water Outages in North Kildare
I am writing to you to raise concern for the ongoing issue of water outages in the north Kildare area.
Whilst the people can understand the occasional blip in the system, this has frankly began to reach the point of a complete joke.
At present, our water is turned off at a rate of almost weekly, and the repeat outages have been going on for a number of months now.
What is even more alarming, is the lack of regard for the people that is presented by those who are aware of these issues.
It is understandable that some issues cannot be predicted, however, turning the water off due to low reservoir levels is something that should be expressed to people in the area well in advance so that they can plan for the
Why is this important?
For those with small babies, they are left unable to feed their children with no notice. For those unable to travel, they are left with no access to a shop to purchase water. The elderly and vulnerable are left with no heating, and farm animals and pets are left with no drinking water. There is a knock effect for everyone when this basis necessity is taken so regularly, and without warning.
The water rarely, if ever, returns at the aforementioned time, and when it does, it is unusable for at least a whole day after due to the sediment.
