Uisce Éireann crews have successfully completed repairs to a pump which has caused reservoir levels to deplete to unsafe levels resulting in low pressure and outages to customers in the areas of Wexford Town, Barntown, Townparks, Whitemill, Ard Carman, Coolcots and surrounding areas.
Dedicated crews continue with repairs to a complex burst water main and have reconfigured the network where possible to ensure the water supply is restored to all impacted customers, especially those at the end of the network or on high ground.
Crews are also working hard to replenish reservoir levels and Uisce Éireann is urgently appealing to customers to conserve water where possible to prevent pressure on the local supply and ensure normal pressure and supply can be fully restored to all.
While handwashing remains a priority, simple water conservation efforts can have a big impact on reducing demand. Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth and shaving can save up to six litres of water per minute. Taking a shower instead of a bath or using a watering can rather than a hose when gardening can also make a big difference in water use.
