Irish Water Hope To Accelerate Programme Of Works In Limerick
The second phase of a programme of works to replace systems of shared backyard water supplies in Limerick is to be accelerated, following initial estimates of the work taking up to 18 months.
Irish Water is under increasing pressure to begin the work after hundreds of households in Limerick were told that they might be without a usable water supply for "up to a year".
More than 750 homes in the Kileely and Ballynanty areas have been told not to drink their water supply, or use it for cooking, or preparing baby formula or ice cubes.
Irish Water have said that they are investigating ways to speed up the start of works to replace the shared backyard supplies.
