Crews working to restore water in Dungarvan and surrounding areas

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section.

Uisce Éireann is aware that customers in Dungarvan and the surrounding areas have experienced supply interruptions as a result of a burst to a large water main yesterday evening which depleted the reservoir. Uisce Éireann crews detected the burst and supply was returned to most areas of the town last night.

Repairs are ongoing today and it is expected that supply will be restored to customers in Kilrush, Shandon Street and Stephen Street later this evening.

Uisce Éireann recommends that you allow 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time for your supply to fully return and it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network. 

Uisce Éireann’s Maura Phelan thanked customers for their patience while crews located the burst as quickly as possible.

“Our team on the ground will continue to carry out repairs today and will monitor the network closely. Uisce Éireann would like to thank our customers for their patience during this period of supply outage and we regret the inconvenience caused. Uisce Éireann would also like to acknowledge the efforts of our team on the ground who worked hard to carry out the repair as quickly as possible.”

Customers may experience discolouration to their supply as a result of the repairs. In the event of discolouration, running the tap for several minutes will usually restore water to a clear colour. For more information, please customers can visit the Discoloured water section of our website.
