Water supply restored in Wexford town

By Dan Walsh

Uisce Éireann crews restored water supply last night to customers in Wexford Town following an issue on the raw water main serving the Newtown Water Treatment Plant.

Although normal production has resumed it can take some time for normal water supply to return as the network reservoirs refill and even longer for customers on high ground or at the end of the line. Customers are being asked to be mindful of their water usage and to allow supply to catch up with demand.

Uisce Éireann’s Padraig Lyng said; “We apologise for any inconvenience that the unplanned interruption to supply caused and would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding while crews worked to bring the water treatment plant back into full production.”
