Athy Water Supply Update - Monday, 1st February, 2010
 
Athy Town Council continues to appeal to householders and businesses to conserve water, following restrictions placed on the regional supply.
Some areas are continuing to experience difficulties with their water supply.
 
The Council is monitoring the water supply situation on an ongoing basis and will provide regular updates on its website www.athytowncouncil.ie.  All users are requested to conserve water where possible.

The water tanker and mains stand-pipe arrangements as below will remain in place (and will be reviewed on Wednesday, 3rd).
