My neighbours and I are "special" - we have our own reservoir!
We live opposite the main reservoir (roofed over to keep the dust and gulls out) - but we have low water pressure as result. Our "personal" reservoir is some way uphill and water is pumped up to keep it topped up and give us some water pressure.
Before the pump was automated, it used to be turned on manually by Denis, who lives in a reservoir house across the road. Denis is from Dublin and rather partial to a drop of "Liffey water" in the evenings
Regularly, on Christmas morning, we'd have no water! Denis had drunk too much of the Liffey and forgotten to turn the pump on.
