Repair work to a pump at the Listowel Regional Water Treatment Plant in Co Kerry has been completed.

Reservoirs are now refilling and water is gradually returning to homes and businesses in Listowel, Tarbert, Moyvane, Knockanure, Lisselton, Finuge, Lixnaw and surrounding areas.

As the water returns, it may appear low in pressure at first however it should build back up over a number of hours, according to Irish Water.

There may be some slight discolouration of the water but this can be cleared by running the cold kitchen tap. There is also a possibility that some domestic water systems may become airlocked.

Senior officials from Irish Water and Kerry County Council will continue to monitor the situation closely as water supply returns to homes and businesses.
