to work with the ESB and Cork County Council to restore water supply to all customers in Co Cork in the wake of Storm Ophe- lia.
Cork and Waterford
were the counties most badly impacted by the out- ages due to the storm. At its peak there were 109,000 customers across the coun- try without water. This has now been reduced to less than 25,000, 14,000 of whom are in Cork. To meet the demands of
those plants without power Irish Water, working with Cork County Council, has been sourcing generators and putting them in place to get treatment
plants
back up and running. At present,
26 generators
are being used to power water treat- ment plants across the region, serving a population of 90,000. In the past 24
hours, supply has been restored in a number of areas in Cork, including Cobh, Youghal,

Continued from front page The couple say they have
been given an ultimatum - either they accept a formal offer of another available house, or make themselves intentionally homeless. They are
currently in
emergency accommodation on a week to week basis at a cost of €1,000 per week and say that they have nowhere to turn because landlords are refusing to accept their Housing Assistant Payment. A frustrated Kellie says are
“There homes they
could give us. For them (the Council) to give us a 3 bed would solve their problem, and it would save them a hell of a lot of money too.” “I’m really stressed. We
don’t know what to do. I’ve been in and out of hospital.

I’m only out of hospital on Friday. They thought I had a stroke and I’m only 22.” The family of three are
on the Council’s housing list for the past two years. Last August
they had no
option but to present them- selves to homeless services, as conditions at Kellie’s
family home became too cramped. Cork County Council say
that they do not comment on individual cases. However, a spokesperson
for the Authority did say they have a statutory duty to assist people who are homeless. This may involve
providing temporary ac-
commodation until suitable housing is found through one of the various housing options, i.e. private
rent-
ed accommodation, HAP, Local Authority Standard Housing or housing provid- ed by the AHBs (voluntary housing bodies).
Kealkill and Doneraile. In locations where it is taking longer to restore water supply, tankers are being deployed to

updates on the status of their supplies at 1850 278 278.
Irish Water would like
to thank the staff of ESB Networks locally for their hard work in restoring power to our plants. We would also like to thank the water services staff in Cork County Council for their continued hard work and diligence during this storm event.
