Uisce Éireann is working to restore water supply as quickly as possible to areas in Youghal following a burst water main.

Dedicated water service crews have been mobilised and repairs are expected to be completed by 7pm, with normal water supply due to return two to three hours after to all customers affected by the unplanned outage.

Clearly signposted traffic management measures will be in place until the outage has been resolved.

“We understand the inconvenience unplanned outages can have on customers and we appreciate your patience as we work to return the water supply to homes and businesses as quickly as possible.” 

Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann will receive direct communications from Irish Water regarding planned and unplanned outages that are due to last more than four hours.
