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 were expected to be completed by 5pm today!

Separately Uisce Éireann crews have completed repairs to a burst water main which caused an interruption to supply for customers in Corish Park, Avondale, Highfields, Liam Mellows, Kennedy Park, Wolfe Tone Villas, Pine Ridge, College Green and the surrounding areas of Wexford Town. 

The network is recharging and water is returning to impacted customers. However, it may take time for normal supply to be restored to customers at the end of the network or on higher ground as the network recharges.
