Clare County Council will assist elected representatives in submitting an objection to An Coimisúin Pleanála over Uisce Éireann's plans to build a 170km pipeline from the Parteen Basin to Dublin City. The project which will cost at least €4.5bn euro has sparked concerns for tourism in East Clare given the potential impact it would have on water tourism at Lough Derg. Uisce Éireann claims the project will take just 2% of the flow from the Parteen Basin, but councillors have vociferously called for this plan to be scrapped, with some stating the biggest problem in Dublin is leakage.

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. Irish Water says all treated water reservoirs are almost full but is asking customers in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow to use only what they need in the coming days. Deir Uisce Éireann go bhfuil na taiscumair chóirithe uisce ar fad nach mór líonta suas ach iarrann sé ar chustaiméirí i mBaile Átha Cliath,Chill Dara agus Chill Mhantáin gan a úsáid ach an méid is gá doibh sna laethanta romhainn.

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.

The Government is being urged to expedite water repair works in West Clare as local communities are said to be "up in arms". Uisce Eireann is today commencing upgrade works on an 800 metre section of mains on the R483 at Alva, Creegh, which will aim to prevent future leaks and bursts. The utility is also on track to complete 6km of mains replacement in Miltown Malbay by the end of this month, but renewed calls have been made for a new line to serve Doolough to Kilrush. Creegh Independent Councillor Dinny Gould says persistent outages will continue if its not dealt with.

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.

The completion of major water works in North Clare has been tipped to improve the region's tourist season. Uisce Eireann has now replaced 550m of watermains at Sroohil (Shruh- hill) and a 900m section of cast iron pipes on Circular Road. The phased project was completed with the aim of reducing leakage and water supply disruptions. Manager of Uisce Eireann's National Leakage Reduction Programme Jack Cronin says it's a hugely positive development.

While we've all been enjoying the warm weather, Uisce Eireann are warning people to remain mindful of their water supply during the sunny spell. We heard from Margaret Attridge, Head of Water Operations at Uisce Eireann.

The delivery of wastewater treatment systems in Broadford and Cooraclare is expected within the next three to five years. In December 2023, both villages were included in a €50m government pilot scheme to provide infrastructure in unsewered rural areas. The local authority is responsible for delivering the projects in consultation with Uisce Eireann and it's understood the preferred options have been identified for both. Clare County Council Senior Engineer Cyril Feeney says it's an extensive process.

It's hoped €7.5m worth of upgrade works carried out by Uisce Eireann will end the threat of future pollution in a North Clare community. It comes as the Ballymacraven Water Treatment Plant, which serves a population of 6,000 in Ennistymon and its surrounding areas has been removed from the utility's remedial action list. In May of 2023, an uncontrolled sludge discharge at the plant caused the death of up to 2,000 fish in the downstream Ballymacraven River. Kevin Noonan from the Restore Ballymacraven River Association says it's a significant step forward.

It's hoped legacy water disruptions in a bustling West Clare town will finally be coming to an end this Summer. Uisce Eireann has confirmed it will be replacing 6km of defective 50-year-old mains on the Coore water scheme which also serves the surrounding areas of Mullagh, Quilty, Spanish Point and Annagh. The works will commence in March and are expected to be complete by mid June. Quilty Fianna Fáil Councillor Michael Shannon says it's crucial for the region's tourism product.
