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.

Uisce Éireann’s Pierce Faherty has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply in both cases as quickly as possible.

“We understand the inconvenience of these unplanned outages and we thank customers for their support while our works continue.”

To ensure the safety of the crews carrying out the repairs to the bursts and the safety of the public, traffic management will be in place and will be clearly signposted.
