Work to repair a burst water main in Cork has been completed.

Water has now been restored to all parts of Cork City, Irish Water confirmed.

The disruption in supply was caused by a burst in a trunk water main supplying many low lying parts of Cork City near Lee Road.

Crews working on behalf of Irish Water and Cork City Council located and isolated the burst within a number of hours of it occurring and were able to begin to restore supply to large parts of the city.

The broken section of pipe has now been repaired and supply in the remaining areas should be returning to normal over the coming hours.

However, some customers may continue to experience low or intermittent pressure for a period of time as flows return to normal throughout the system.
