FROM EARLIER 

Uisce Éireann is working to restore water supply to approximately 100 homes in the Killavullen area of Cork following a burst to a watermain in Killavullen Village.

As a result of the burst, people in the area may experience low water pressure and/or interruptions to their water supply. Crews have been able to reconfigure the network to maintain supply to customers in Killavullen Village.

Dedicated water service crews are on the ground and repair works are expected to be completed by 4pm this afternoon.

It typically takes 2 – 3 hours following the estimated restoration time for normal water supply to fully restore to all areas, especially those on higher ground.

Uisce Éireann’s Cormac Bergin assured customers that crews are working as quickly as possible to repair the burst:

“We understand how disruptive unplanned outages are and we would like to thank impacted customers in the Killavullen area for their patience while we work on repairs and restore the water supply as quickly as possible.”
