Work is ongoing to restore the water supply to consumers supplied by the Kerry Central Regional Water Supply Scheme following a burst on Tuesday evening.

Works are progressing well and water supply has now returned to most of the areas. Supply is now restored to customers in the Strand Road area in Tralee, however some customers may still experience low water pressure while the network recovers. Customers located on higher grounds and on the extremity of the network may also continue to experience temporary outages and/or low water pressure due to the complex nature of the water supply network.

Alternative water supplies (mobile water tankers) are in place today at the following locations:

• Tralee - O'Donnell's Bar Mounthawk, Brandon Car Park

• Killarney - Rock Road Car Park

Anna Brosnan, Irish Water said: "While water supply has returned for most of the customers impacted by the major burst watermain, there are some customers, in particular at the extremities of the network, whose supply has not fully returned. Dedicated water services crews continue to work on restoring water to all customers at this time. We would ask everyone to make an effort to conserve water to help with the recovery phase and the ongoing restoration of water supply to all."
