In a statement to WexfordLocal.com this evening Uisce Éireann says it is working to restore water supply to homes and businesses following operational issues at the Gorey Town Water Supply. As a result, water supply to the Gorey Urban Water Supply Zone, Gorey Town (Gorey Irish Street and Gorey North) and surrounding areas is impacted.
Alternative Water Supplies (IBCs) will be deployed at the following locations: Woodlands Manor, Baile Eogain, Cois Doire, Ashwood Grove, Willow Park, Hunters Green, Pearsons Brook, Raithin Cuilin, Creagh Wood, Ardmore, Allenwood Drive, Park Avenue.
Customers must boil water taken from tankers before use
Expert crews are on the ground working to restore normal water supply as quickly as possible to impacted customers. Repair works are scheduled to take place until 7pm this evening (Tuesday,November 19th).
Uisce Éireann would like to apologise for the inconvenience of an unplanned outage of this nature and would like to thank customers for their support while crews work to ensure that a normal water supply is returned to those impacted as quickly as possible.
Following repair works, it typically takes two to three hours for normal supply to be fully restored to all areas as the water refills the network, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.
Homes and businesses in Gorey and surrounding areas may experience low water pressure, temporary water discolouration or intermittent disruptions to water supply.
Uisce Éireann will continue to keep customers updated as repairs continue. The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact on Twitter @IWCare with any queries. For updates, please see the Water Supply updates section of water.ie.
