Alternative water supplies are being provided for Uisce Éireann customers in Taghmon, whose supply has been impacted by a burst water main on Wednesday evening.
Repairs on the burst main are expected to be completed by approximately 2pm tomorrow (Thursday).
Alternative water supplies in the forms of IBCs have been deployed to the residential areas of the village while a water tanker is also available at the Taghmon Camross GAA Club grounds.
Padraig Lyng, Uisce Éireann Water Network Operations Manager, thanked impacted customers for their understanding while repairs to the burst main are ongoing.
“We acknowledge the impact of unplanned outages for our customers, particularly in warm weather,” said Mr Lyng, who added; “We have made alternative supplies available for impacted customers, and we thank affected homes and businesses for their understanding while we work to restore normal supply.”
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.
