A programme of essential works have been completed at the Drinagh Water Treatment Plant in West Cork.

Irish Water and Cork County Council worked to resolve an issue with the treatment process at the plant which necessitated an interruption to the supply.

These works restored water supply to local customers.

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage.
