A repair team has been deployed to a site in Pullough, Co Offaly, after a underground leak disrupted the local water supply.

The incident interrupted the supply for customers in Pullough and surrounding areas of Heathfield, The Back Road, The Canal Line, Derryneavy and Turraun.

Repairs are underway on site from Irish Water and Offaly County Council and expected to be completed in the early afternoon, 09 September. Following the successful repair of the leak it typically takes two to three hours after this to restore normal supply to all customers affected by an unplanned outage as water refills the network.

To ensure the safety of the public and crews carrying out the repairs to the leak, traffic management will be in place and will be clearly signposted.

John Gavin, Irish Water, said: "Repairs are being conducted as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimise disruption to the area and restore water for all customers. We understand the inconvenience unplanned outages can have on customers and we appreciate your patience as we work to return the water supply to homes and businesses as quickly as possible."
