Works underway to restore water to community in Churchtown 

Works are underway to restore water to the community in Churchtown. 

Uisce Éireann said that it was working with Cork County Council to restore water supply to customers in the area following a shutdown of the water treatment plant due to the adjacent river flooding.

It said crews are progressing the necessary works and every effort is being made to bring the plant back into production.

"Customers may experience water outages and/or low pressure later today until the works are completed. It typically takes two to three hours for the water network to refill following outages,"it said. 

Speaking about the works, Niall O’Riordan, Uisce Éireann commented: “We are working as quickly and efficiently as possible to restore production. Uisce Éireann thanks customers in advance for their patience while we work to restore normal water supply and we will issue a further update as works progress.” 

The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact the company on X, formerly known as Twitter, at @IWCare with any queries.
