Works have commenced to repair a large leak in Tipperary.

The work is taking place at Ballinard Bridge near Fethard and is expected to be completed in three weeks.

The leak is causing the loss of approximately 30,000 litres of treated water every hour. This is impacting on the supply to homes, farms and businesses in the area.

The works to replace a section of old water main will require the closure of Ballinard Bridge.

A traffic management plan is in place for the duration of the work, with diversions clearly signposted for traffic in the vicinity.
