Limerick householders warned of possible discoloration to water supply
IRISH Water is advising customers in Limerick city and its environs that scheduled maintenance work at the Clareview Water Treatment Plant may lead to a discoloration in their water supply, for a period of time.
The works will take place this Tuesday and it may take up to 48 hours for any discoloration to clear across the network.
Irish Water, which is working in conjunction with Limerick City and County Council, is recommending that householders run the kitchen tap for a few minutes to see if the water returns to a clear colour.
If the discoloration remains, they should contact the Irish Water Customer Care Team at 1800 278 278 or on social media. The discolored water should not be consumed.
Commenting ahead of the scheduled works, Duane O’Brien, Operational Lead with Irish Water, said: "This second round of scheduled maintenance works is necessary to continue to provide a safe and reliable supply to Limerick city and its environs. Irish Water understands the inconvenience when a planned outage occurs and thanks customers for their patience while we complete these essential works.”
Irish Water is apologising for any inconvenience caused.
