Water Outage Information from Irish Water

Oscail

Irish Water has an existing locked-down GIS dataset for all current and expected water outage issues across Ireland. These are mapped as points and provide metadata about the start time for the works or advice on water tank locations (in extreme cases). At present, this must be searched on their website meaning that people do not get any pre warning about incidents taking place in their area. They find out the hard way after the water is unavailable. It is a difficult site to navigate and if this data was open then it would allow interested businesses to create a web feed to get pre-warning for any local water outages.

Potential Use

If this dataset is shared as open data in a structured and timely manner then it can be reused by 3rd party applications that rely on water. Our business relies on water and we have more to be doing than trawling through the Irish Water website every day.

    How does esb manage to leaflet every house a week before a planned outage and irish water does nothing? This is crazy
  • Ashley Glover (Unauthenticated user) (3 bliana ó shin)

    plus one for Irish Water data... none of their data to public is in open formats
  • Paddy Norton (Unauthenticated user) (5 bliana ó shin)

    There are 71 likes for this and based on previous discussion there is a demand. This is easily available from IW! Why are they locking down their data?

    Once " again" up at 5am this morning & no water supply & no alerts that I can find on any page...just disgraceful
  • Deirdre Cronin (Unauthenticated user) (6 bliana ó shin)

    Once again we,re up for work at 5am 8/8/18, & NO WATER TO SHOWER.....& NO WARNINGS GIVEN EITHER.... I,ve trawled the pages, set up a Mapalert a/c, etc.....absolutely disgraceful, not a mention on any of their pages etc about Clonmel Co Tipperary for water supply interruption..... I,ve rang & complained on a few occasions previously, this is not a service, as I've said in many a conversation previously " IF THERE IS A NEED TO INTERRUPT THE WATER SUPPLY FOR WHATEVER REASON, AT LEAST GIVE PROPER NOTICE..." & NONE GIVEN FOR THIS ONE AGAIN......

    I would suggest the same thing, it's a valuable information. I would like to create an application to react to the alerts and inform me about outages.

    This was available as an ESRI service but they switched it off recently. Any idea why?
