Uisce Éireann ag iarraidh ar dhaoine uisce a spáráil i mBÁC. Irish Water has appealed to people living in the greater Dublin area to be water-efficient over the coming weekend. Tá achainí déanta ag Uisce Éireann ar dhaoine a bhfuil cónaí orthu sa mhórlimistéar thart ar Bhaile Átha Cliath a bheith spárálach leis an uisce i gcaitheamh an deireadh seachtaine romhainn. That's because maintenance is to be carried out on a pipeline that supplies one-third of the region's water and will be closed from 11 o'clock tonight until Sunday. Sin mar go bhfuil cothabháil le déanamh ar phíblíne a sholáthraíonn aon trian d'uisce an réigiúin agus go mbeidh sé casta dhe ón 11 a' chlog anocht go dtí an Domhnach.

Mark O'Duffy, Portfolio Manager of Infrastructure Delivery at Uisce Éireann, discusses a major repair project taking place over the Bank Holiday weekend

Stephen Burke, Uisce eireann's Regional Operations Manager for the Eastern & Midlands Region

The upgrade of water infrastructure in a West Clare community is expected to "significantly lower instances of bursts" in the area. Ward and Burke Construction Limited has replaced over 800 metres of aged water mains with new pipes in the townland of Alva in Creegh on behalf of Uisce Éireann. The water utility claims this will cut down on supply disruptions along the network which will result in a "more secure" water supply for residents. Uisce Éireann National Leakage Reduction Programme Manager Jack Cronin claims it's a very positive development.

A West Clare councillor claims repairs currently being undertaken on water supplies is a factor in outages in the region. It's after two seperate bursts on water mains has caused a loss of supply for customers in Miltown Malbay, Coore, Spanish Point, Mullagh, Creegh and Cooraclare. In February, Uisce Éireann announced works would be completed on 6km of defective 50-year-old mains on the Coore water scheme. Cree Independent Councillor, Dinny Gould, says these works are putting extra strain on fragile pipes further along the line.

The Government has published a revised version of the National Development Plan. Tá athleagan den Phlean Forbartha Náisiúnta foilsithe ag an Rialtas. According to the plan, €112 billion will be invested in major infrastructure projects in the State between 2026 and 2030. De réir an phlean, infheisteofar €112 billiún i mórthograí bonneagair sa Stát idir 2026 agus 2030. Housing, transport, energy and water are the infrastructure sectors that are in focus. Tithíocht, iompar, fuinneamh agus uisce na hearnálacha den bhonneagar atá i dtreis. It is said that €30 billion of the €112 billion will come from the money the State received in taxes from the Apple company – an unexpected fund – and from the money received from the sale of the State's shares in the AIB bank. Deirtear go dtiocfaidh €30 billiún den €112 billiún ón airgead a fuair an Stát i gcáin ón gcomhlacht Apple – ciste nach raibh coinne leis – agus ón airgead a fuarthas ó scaireanna an Stáit i mbanc an AIB a dhíol. The rest of the money is new funding. Maoiniú úr atá sa chuid eile den airgead. The housing sector will be given priority in the plan. Is don earnáil tithíochta a thabharfar tús áite sa phlean. €36 billion will be invested in this sector, not including connecting homes to a water supply. €36 billiún a infheisteofar san earnáil sin, gan tithe a nascadh le soláthar úisce a chur san áireamh. €24 billion will be invested in the transport sector, of which €2 billion will be provided for the Dublin Metro. €24 billiún a infheisteofar san earnáil iompair agus cuirfear €2 bhilliún den mhéid sin ar fáil do Mheitreo Bhaile Átha Cliath. €3.5 billion will be set aside for electricity services and this money will be paid to the Electricity Supply Board and Eirgrid. €3.5 billiún a chuirfear i leataobh le haghaidh seirbhísí leictreachais agus is le Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais agus le Eirgrid a íocfar an t-airgead sin. €4.5 billion is to be made available to Irish Water, approximately half to provide water to an additional 300,000 homes and the other half for other major projects. Tá €4.5 billiún le cur ar fáil d'Uisce Éireann, tuairim is a leath chun uisce a sholáthar do 300,000 áras cónaithe breise agus an leath eile le haghaidh mórthograí eile. Announcing the plan in Government House, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said it was the largest investment ever made in the State's infrastructure. Agus an plean á fhógairt aige i dTithe an Rialtais, dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin gurb é an infheistíocht is mó a rinneadh riamh i mbonneagar an Stáit é. Housing is more important than any other aspect of the plan and the private sector must be involved if this major issue is to be resolved, he said. Is tábhachtaí tithíocht ná aon ghné eile den phlean agus caithfidh an earnáil phríobháideach a bheith rannpháirteach ann má táthar leis an gceist mhór sin a réiteach, arsa sé. The opposition has cast doubt on what the Government announced today, however. Tá amhras caite ag an bhfreasúra ar ar fhógair an Rialtas inniu, áfach. Sinn Féin, the Labour Party and the Social Democrats all claimed that the development plan lacked much detail, particularly in terms of housing. Sinn Féin, Páirtí an Lucht Oibre agus na Daonlathaithe Sóisialta, mhaígh siad ar fad nach raibh mórán mionsonraí sa phlean forbartha, go háirithe ó thaobh cúrsaí tithíochta de. The Construction Industry Federation, which has been a vocal voice on the issue, said it was disappointed that no specific major construction projects were announced in the plan and that no deadlines were set for what is planned. Dúirt Cónaidhm Thionscal na Foirgníochta, a bhfuil guthaíocht mhór acu ar an gceist,

There's a call for an end to be rough to water discolouration and odour issues in West Clare once and for all. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch is seeking an "urgent meeting" with Uisce Éireann following what he's described as a "complete failure to provide safe drinking water for prolonged periods during May and June". With all members voting in favour of the proposal at this month's meeting of the region's elected representatives, the West Clare Municipal District will now write to the water utility requesting the meeting. Councillor Lynch says it's an ongoing problem for homes and businesses.

Tá Uisce Éireann ag achainí ar an bpobal uisce a chaomhnú as seo go ceann scaithimh mar gheall ar an aimsir the. The company says the heatwave is draining water supplies and is already causing drought in 31 watersheds in twelve counties. Deir an comhlacht go bhfuil soláthairtí uisce á ndísciú ag an teaspach agus go bhfuil sé ina thriomach cheana féin i 31 abhantrach in dhá chontae dhéag. The counties in question are Tipperary, Waterford, Offaly, Cork, Galway, Donegal, Meath, Kilkenny, Westmeath, Laois, Clare and Wexford. Is iad na contaetha atá i gceist Tiobraid Árann, Port Láirge, Uíbh Fhailí, Corcaigh, Gaillimh, Dún na nGall, An Mhí, Cill Chainnigh, An Iarmhí, Laois, An Clár agus Loch Garman. It is not an absolute drought and the water supply in those areas is "being managed", the company says. Ní dearbhthriomach atá ann agus tá an soláthar uisce sna háiteanna sin "á bhainistiú", a deir an comhlacht. However, Irish Water has declared conservation orders in three locations, namely, Mullingar in County Westmeath; Milford in County Donegal; and Kells- Oldcastle in County Meath. Mar sin féin, tá orduithe caomhnaithe fógartha ag Uisce Éireann i dtrí áit, mar atá, An Muileann gCearr i gCo na hIarmhí; Baile na nGallóglach i gCo Dhún na nGall; agus Ceanannas-An Seanchaisleán i gCo na Mí. In addition, the company says that it may still be a drought in other places as well, including Dublin. Ina cheann sin, deir an comhlacht go mb'fhéidir go mbeadh sé ina thriomach fós in áiteanna eile freisin, Baile Átha Cliath ina measc. Temperatures are expected to reach 28 degrees in parts of the country from now until at least Saturday, and people across the country are being urged to be water-efficient while the heatwave lasts.

Newly approved plans for a wastewater treatment plan in West Clare are expected to be challenged in the High Court. It comes as Uisce Éireann has been given the green light to build a new sewerage plant, along with foul pumping station on a site just 620m away from Kilkee Cliff Walk. An Bord Pleanála granted permission for the project last week, following a successful appeal from Uisce Eireann which maintains the plant is essential to end the discharge of raw sewerage into Intrinsic Bay. Cathaoirleach of the West Clare Municipal District Rita McInerney has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan it's likely to spark a judicial review.

It's feared Ennis will be "hamstrung" unless urgent action is taken to increase wastewater capacity. Ennis Municipal District has confirmed no new planning permissions can be given in the south of Ennis or in Clarecastle at present as the Clareabbey Wastewater Treatment Plant is at full capacity. The body has now written to Uisce Éireann requesting details on plans to expand or improve the current network. Clarecastle Fine Gael Councillor Paul Murphy has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons swift action is required to prevent the county town and its environs from being brought to a standstill.

Uisce Éireann is investigating after a fatberg was found in the River Finnihy in Kenmare. Jerry spoke to Elaine Doyle, who’s Clean Coasts’ campaign and development officer for the south.

A south Clare village is said to be forced into shutdown on a regular basis due to outdated water infrastructure. On foot of a notice of motion from Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman, Shannon Municipal District has written to Uisce Éireann requesting an upgrade of the water main that delivers water to the village. It's understood the pipe is no longer fit for purpose and that the area has experienced water outages three times in May alone. Councillor O'Gorman says businesses in the locality frequently find themselves unable to operate due to supply disruptions.

Uisce (pronounced "ish-ka," the Irish word for "water") is the sole full-length album by Australian band Non-Intentional Lifeform (N.I.L.), released in 1997 by Roadrunner Records. Formed in Perth in 1995, N.I.L. was known for their eclectic fusion of hard rock, thrash metal, post-punk, rap, and funk. Energetic and unpredictable, the album is an inventive blend of genres anchored by stellar musical performances that sound like a bridge between rap-rock pioneers Rage Against The Machine and Faith No More, and late 90s alternative and nu-metal of System of a Down and Incubus.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Living or Existing 21:36 - Farm Animals 23:37 - Sister Julienne 33.22 - Spilling All Over The Floor Outro - Living or Existing   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Uisce Éireann insists it's not resting on its laurels when it comes to preventing water shortages in Clare. The water utility is urging homes and businesses in this county to be mindful of its usage as the Carron Water Treatment Plant is one of 22 supplies nationwide deemed to be in drought status. A number of methods of conservation are being encouraged such as using a watering can instead of a hose for gardening, not letting the tap run and taking a bath instead of a shower. Uisce Éireann's Asset Operations Lead for Drinking Water in Clare, Darragh Conneely, has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons they're looking into futureproofing water infrastructure here against hot spells such as the one currently being experienced.

Over 20 water supplies around the country are officially in drought status due to the recent spell of warm and dry weather. Uisce Eireann is asking people to reduce their water usage as the good weather is expected to continue into next week. Margaret Attridge, Uisce Eireann's Head of Water Operations, speaks to us from our Cork studio.

A Clare TD says there's a lack of willingness at Government level to adopt innovative solutions to facilitate the delivery of housing developments in the county. Speaking in the Dáil, Bodyke Fine Gael TD, Joe Cooney, claims the inability of Uisce Éireann to deliver wastewater treatment infrastructure is resulting in the blocking of developments. The use of modular wastewater treatment systems been identified as a means of speedily providing small scale developments to aid the State in reaching its housing targets. Deputy Cooney says there are obvious solutions, but they just need the go ahead.

The incoming President of Ennis Chamber has described the lack of functioning wastewater treatment plants in the town as "preposterous". According to Uisce Éireann's register, there is no available capacity at the Clareabbey sewerage plant, although an upgrade is planned. It's unlikely that any proposed developments near the plant can happen until the works are complete, and the local authority is now being urged to rezone lands for residential use near the Clon Road facility instead. Diarmuid McMahon of Sherry Fitzgerald McMahon Real Estate Agents says development has effectively been sterilised for half the town.

Philip Cotter from Abbeyfeale spoke to Jerry on Kerry Today on March 20th.. He said Uisce Éireann charged his business, a restaurant in Abbeyfeale, €8,580.92 for water in February, even though his typical bill totals less than €100 annually.

According to Uisce Éireann Chairman Gerry Grant, our water and sewage systems are "in a desperate state". Mr Grant said the single water pipe serving 40% of Dublin customers "could blow up in the morning". For analysis, we're joined by Dr. Jenny Lawler, from the DCU Water Institute...

Philip Cotter is the owner of O’Flynn’s Restaurant in Abbeyfeale, which has been in the family for over 100 years. Last month, he says Uisce Éireann withdrew €8,580.92 from his account for water charges. Philp says the utility made a mistake as he normally would pay only around €100 annually. He says he’s contacted Uisce Éireann several times but no one has addressed his problem. Radio Kerry has contacted Uisce Éireann.

Clare's opposition TD says greater focus needs to be placed on improving water infrastructure, rather than introducing what she calls "double taxation" in the form of water charges. Following reports that the Government was working on plans for "excessive water use charges", both the Taoiseach and Housing Minister have claimed the introduction of such charges is a Government priority. Sinn Féin Deputy Donna McGettigan claims leakage from old homes is the greatest cause of water loss in the country and Uisce Éireann should instead enhance their leakage reduction programme. The Shannon TD says punishing people living in older homes is not the solution to water conservation.

Ennistymon residents are being told to expect a more "secure and reliable" water supply once upcoming works are completed. Uisce Éireann has confirmed it will be upgrading 550 metres of watermains along the L-1050 at Sroohil in the North Clare town. Works get underway today and are due to conclude on April 4th, with a road closure in effect for the duration and a traffic management system in place. Uisce Éireann Programme Manager Jack Cronin it's a huge win for locals.

A water infrastructure revamp commencing in North Clare today is being welcomed locally as a step in the right direction. Uisce Éireann is working to upgrade 550 metres of watermains at Sroohil in Ennistymon in the latest in a series of improvement works on the line. The L-1050 will be closed until April 4th in order to facilitate the works and the water utility claims customers will enjoy a more "secure and reliable" water supply once the upgrade is complete. Ennistymon Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons there are many parts of North Clare where similar upgrades are sorely needed.
