Uisce Éireann is working to maintain water supply to customers in the Bree and Ballyhogue areas following an issue at the local water treatment plant.
Padraig Lyng, Water Network Operations Manager Uisce Éireann, said: “Our crews are working to manage this issue and maintain water supplies for customers in Bree and Ballyhogue. We have put measures in place to support the local network, including tankering water to the treated water reservoir, while repairs are progressed.”
“We are asking customers to be mindful of their water use while the supply network remains under pressure. We understand the inconvenience that low pressure or interruptions to supply can cause and we thank the community for their patience and cooperation while we work to restore normal operations,” added Mr. Lyng.
Crews are on site. Repairs are expected to be completed later today. Customers can check the water supply and services section of the Uisce Éireann website for the latest updates: www.water.ie.
Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal water supply to fully return as the network recharges. However, it may take longer for normal supply to return to customers at the end of the network or on higher ground.
