Water disruptions likely for parts of Cork Harbour

Hydrant installation works may cause water and traffic disruptions in some areas along Cork Harbour on Tuesday, Uisce Éireann has warned.

The water utility company said the works, which are part of its national leakage reduction programme, are scheduled to take place from 9pm on Tuesday 19 September until 1am on Wednesday 20 September.

According to Uisce Éireann, which was formerly known as Irish Water, hydrant installation works may cause supply disruptions to Pembroke, Maulbaun, Lackaroe, Rathanker, Monkstown, Parkgarriff, Ballyfouloo, Passage West and surrounding areas in Co Cork.

There will be a traffic management plan in place for the duration of the works.

Uisce Éireann said it recommended that the public should allow two to three hours after the estimated restoration time for water supply to fully return.

To access updates on these works, the public is invited to visit the Uisce Éireann website, water.ie, using the reference: COR00067744.
