Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tanker and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure, as per advice from the Health Service Executive.

"Uisce Éireann would like to apologise to all customers who are experiencing an interruption to their supply and would like to reassure them that we are working hard to resolve the issue," he said.
