Due to the significant rainfall recently, the Poulaphouca reservoir waters levels have risen sharply.
Overnight, the level on Poulaphouca has risen to 186.2m OD Poolbeg and is continuing to rise.
For the foreseeable future, the ESB will therefore be releasing water from Poulaphoca reservoir to reduce the level.
For the foreseeable future, the ESB will therefore be releasing water from Poulaphoca reservoir to reduce the level.
As far as possible the ESB have stated that they will be releasing these waters so as not to coincide with floods in the middle Liffey and any high tide issues in Dublin.
However, if the level continues to rise, continuous discharges could be required.
Overall, the levels of discharge from Poulaphouca will depend on rainfall over the next period, the level of the reservoir and the weather forecast.
The ESB is working in close co-operation with all the councils along the Liffey and is constant communication with them regarding water management on the Liffey.
As well as the weekly texts, ESB will be issuing more frequent texts updating the councils on the situation on the Liffey.
It is likely that this situation will persist for a number of weeks.
