Around 5,000 customers remain without water in Wexford.

Irish Water workers are continuing work to repair a burst watermain to restore the supply as soon as possible.

Alternative water supplies will be available at the following locations:

• Cois Carrige Estate

• Coolcotts Community Centre

• Mother Hubbards Barntown

• St Josephs Community Centre

• Mount Prospect Estate

• Clonard Village Estate

• Clonard Church Carpark

• Ramsgrange Church

In order to allow reservoirs to refill over the coming days, customers are urged to conserve water where possible by not running taps unnecessarily, taking showers instead of baths and checking for leaks in their properties. Irish Water is especially appealing to anyone with an outside tap to ensure that it is securely turned off. A constant flow from an external tap over 24 hours is the equivalent of the usage of 40 households in the same period.
