Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a burst water main in Tomhaggard and restore water to customers affected. Repairs are expected to be completed by 5pm today.
The burst water main will result in outages for customers in Tomhaggard, Bridgetown and surrounding areas.
Uisce Éireann’s Padraig Lyng has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible.
“We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while our works continue.”
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.
To ensure the safety of the crews carrying out the repairs to the burst and the safety of the public, traffic management is in place and will be clearly signposted.
