Major water burst in rural Gorey

By Dan Walsh

Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a major burst in Gorey and restore water to affected customers.  

The burst watermain will result in interruptions to supply for customers in Ballycanew, Killenagh, Poulshone, Kilmuckridge, Coolook and the surrounding areas of Wexford.  

Repairs are expected to be completed by 5pm today.

Uisce Éireann’s Padraig Lyng has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible.  

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.
