Water is now returning to homes and businesses in Wexford town after Uisce Éireann crews successfully repaired a major burst on a water main in the area.
The burst, which occurred this morning, required extensive repair works by specialist crews to restore normal water supply as quickly and safely as possible.
Padraig Lyng, Water Network Operations Manager, Uisce Éireann, said: “We know that losing your water supply can be difficult and disruptive for families, businesses and communities, and we are very grateful to everyone affected for their patience and understanding while repairs were carried out.
“We are pleased to have supply returning, and we appreciate the efforts people made to conserve water while repairs were underway. Community support and cooperation made a real difference,” added Mr. Lyng.
Customers may experience lower than normal pressure, temporary discolouration or intermittent supply for a short period while the network refills. This is normal and should improve as the system stabilises.
Uisce Éireann teams will continue to monitor the network.
