Uisce Éireann is currently addressing an electrical failure at the reservoir in New Ross’s Hewittsland area to restore normal water supply to residential and commercial properties.
Expert water service crews were dispatched and are working with the ESB to minimise disruption and carry out the required repair works, with every effort being made to complete this work as quickly as possible. Works are scheduled to take place until 6pm this evening.
Alternative water supplies are being made available at the Apex car park and the Community hospital car park.
Padraig Lyng, Water Operations Lead for Wexford thanked affected customers for their cooperation while the repair works are being carried out.
“Uisce Éireann acknowledges the disruption that can be caused by an unplanned outage such as this operational issue at the Hewittsland Tower. We wish to thank customers in Hewittsland area of New Ross for their patience while these emergency repair works were underway,” stated Mr Lyng.
Following completion of works, it is recommended to allow 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time for the supply to fully return.
Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications from us for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.
