A team of Irish Water engineers has restored supply in Kildare following a burst main.

The national utility worked with Kildare County Council to restore water supply to customers in Leixlip, Shinkeen Road, Celbridge and surrounding areas.

Dedicated water service crews were mobilised yesterday morning, 20 January, and worked throughout the day to repair the water main. Whilst supply is starting to return to many properties some customers located on higher ground or at the end of the network may continue to experience temporary low water pressure and /or outages as water refills the network.

Peter Thornton, Irish Water, said: "The repairs were 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 worked to return the water supply to homes and businesses as quickly as possible."
