Alternative water supplies have been available since 4pm this evening, at the following locations:
Customers are advised to bring their own containers and to boil the water before use as a precaution.
Uisce Éireann’s Pierce Faherty has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible.
“We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while our works continue.”
Supply is expected to be restored by 9am tomorrow, Sunday 28 September.
Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers at the end of the network or on higher ground as the system recharges.
