A crew of engineers have been dispatched to deliver watermain repairs in the County Cork village of Crosshaven.

Irish Water is progressing with repairs at The Hill, Garball Bay Road, after a watermain burst in the area yesterday, 24 October.

These repair works are proving to be a bit more difficult than usual and requires the team to replace approximately 70m of watermain. Therefore, the utility does not expect to have work finished and supply returned this evening.
