Repairs are expected to be completed by 5pm today (Thursday).
Crews from Uisce Éireann are currently repairing a major water main burst in Carrick, County Wexford, with the aim of restoring water service to customers who have been impacted.
The burst is affecting the water supply to residential and commercial properties in Carrick, Bannow, and the surrounding areas of south Wexford.
Alternative Water Supplies ae available in Carrick village. Customers are advised to bring their own containers and to boil the water before use as a precaution
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. Repairs are expected to be completed by 5pm today (Thursday).
“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,” concluded Mr. Lyng.
To ensure the safety of the crews carrying out the repairs to the burst and the safety of the public, traffic management will be in place and will be clearly signposted.
