Tipperary councillor calls on Irish Water to address water supply issues

Fine Gael’s Cllr Declan Burgess has called on Irish Water to address the ongoing issues impacting water supply in the Dundrum/Knockavilla area.

“I have been in direct contact with Uisce Eireann management in relation to the ongoing issues impacting water supply in the Knockavilla area. I have been raising concerns and calling for a resolution to these issues,” said Cllr Burgess.

CRITICAL

“I have been very critical in recent times in asking Uisce Eireann why the reservoir in Dundrum is being bypassed and sitting there empty for several months. This move has created a severe strain in the delivery of a consistent service to the people of this area,” he said.

“I am pleased to announce that I have received a commitment that capital works will be taking place in the coming weeks. A new pumping station is required for this area and I am delighted to confirm a contractor has been appointed and due to start shortly,” he said.
