LATEST: Water supply returning to town in Tipperary ​following night-time restrictions

Water supply is returning to normal levels for Uisce Éireann customers in Tipperary Town following the completion of leak detection works in the town.

Nighttime restrictions were introduced last night to facilitate the works. These have been successfully completed, and supply is now returning.

However, on recharge of the network there was a burst on the watermain on the Link Road, affecting customers along the Link Road, Gas House Lane, and Abbey Street.

Crews are on site repairing the burst watermain and water is expected to be restored by 2pm today.

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. Customers are also asked to be mindful of their water usage and to allow supply to catch up with demand.
