Uisce Éireann teams are currently repairing a burst water main that has reduced flow to the Creagh Water Treatment Plant in Gorey.
The burst is disrupting water supply for Uisce Éireann customers in Gorey Town, Tara Hill, Ballymoney, and nearby 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 from approximately 5pm this evening.
Uisce Éireann’s Padraig Lyng has assured affected customers that supply will be restored as quickly as possible.
“We acknowledge the inconvenience caused by unplanned outages and we want to thank affected customers 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.
Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications from us for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.
