Sizeable, ongoing leaks in the reservoir at Gortnaskehy, Araglin, have left homes and farms plagued with a stop/go water system, low pressure, and often no water supply at all for over the last number of months.
A significant leak in the reservoir was described as ‘like a waterfall sometimes’ and has been losing water and affecting water pressure for around 9 months. Over the past 7 to 8 months, residents have been left largely without water, with supplies only returning sporadically for brief periods before cutting out again.
Those in the area are largely left relying on a water tanker positioned outside the reservoir and are forced to draw water to their homes, farms and businesses for use.
