A Kerry county councillor has called for more tankers to be made available for people without water due to a burst main this evening.
Fianna Fáil councillor Fionnán Fitzgerald has asked Uisce Éireann to consider putting more tankers in place, with supply disrupted in many parts of Kerry.
A burst water main is affecting supply to Kerins Park, Cloghers, Kerries, Fenit, Spa Rd, Caherslee, Knockawadra, Clogherbrien, Blennerville, Hare Street, Ardfert, Firies, Flemby, Ballyseedy, Currans, Castlemaine, Castleisland, Kilsarkin and surrounding areas.
Water tankers are available from 6pm in Fenit by the playground, at the RSA office on Spa Road in Tralee, and at Desmonds GAA Club in Castleisland.
Uisce Éireann is again advising people to boil water taken from one of its tankers before consumption as a precaution.
Works to repair the burst water main began at 1:25pm today and are expected to continue until midday tomorrow.
Fianna Fáil councillor Fionnán Fitzgerald has asked Uisce Éireann for a tanker to be made available in Firies.
He says the tanker in Castleisland is too far for Firies and many other areas to serve all the people affected.
He has asked the utility to consider more water tanks be put in place throughout the general area.
Meanwhile, Nighttime water restrictions will be in place on the Listowel Regional Public Water Supply Scheme from 12pm until 8am tomorrow morning. As a result customers in Listowel Town ,Moyvane,Knockanure, Lisselton, Ballyduff and surrounding areas may experience lower water pressure or temporary disruptions to supply while these measures are in operation.
