Burst water main in Gorey 

By Dan Walsh

Uisce Éireann crews are currently working to repair a burst water main which has constricted flow to the Creagh Water Treatment Plant in Gorey.

The burst is affecting water supply to Uisce Éireann customers in Gorey and the surrounding areas.

Crews are on site and are working to repair the burst. It is estimated that repairs will be complete and supply will return to normal levels this afternoon.

Uisce Éireann’s Padraig Lyng has assured affected customers that supply will be restored as quickly as possible.

“We acknowledge the inconvenience caused to customers by unplanned outages and we want to thank affected homes and businesses for their understanding while our crews work to repair the burst and restore normal supply,” said Mr. Lyng.

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. However, 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.
