Hundreds of Tipperary customers hit with water outage after interruption at treatment plant
Uisce Éireann working to restore supply to parts of Clonmel
Uisce Éireann crews are advising some customers in Clonmel of outages following an interruption to the water supply at Glenary Water Treatment Plant.
The interruption will result in outages to parts of town as follows:
Glenary
Caherbaun
Ballygambon
Kilmaccoma, and surrounding areas
Elevated areas will also be affected including: Wheatfields Estate, Ballingarane and Inishlounaght.
Uisce Éireann’s Pierce Faherty 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.”
Supply is expected to be restored by 12pm tomorrow.
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.
