LATEST: Large leak has hit supply of water for some Tipperary residents

Irish Water and Tipperary County Council are working to restore normal water supply to The Commons scheme following a large leak.

As a result water supply to the following areas is impacted:

Blackcommon

The Commons

Kyle Ballygalvin

Boulintea

Croakes Cross

Upper Ballingarry and surrounding areas.

Crews are on the ground working to isolate and repair the leak and restore normal water supply as quickly as possible to impacted customers.

In the meantime alternative water supplies will be made available at the school in The Commons and in Ballingarry.

These supplies will remain in place until supply is restored to all customers.

Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tanker and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure.

Colin Cunningham of Irish Water said: We understand the inconvenience this issue is causing and are working to restore normal water supply as quickly as possible. It is expected that the works will be completed by approximately 6pm on Sunday, December 18, after which it will take a number of hours for the network to refill and normal supply to return to all customers.”
