In case anyone else lives in Balbriggan...

I finally rang the councils water department and asked about the water being switched off at night,they got the local depot to ring me (all within 5 minutes may I add) and this is the current status -

Water is switched off at midnight every night and back on a 6am this is to facilitate the kilsoc reservoir refilling.(I have never heard of it and to the best of my previous knowledge our water came from a reservoir at the bog of the ring,possibley same place?)

They do not know when it is going to go on until but if they did not do it the situation would be worse.
