Residents in the higher areas of Cork City North side are set to experience disruption to water supply this evening, 03 November.

The disruption is expected from 7.30pm until 6am tomorrow, Friday 04 November.

This is a result of vital underground network improvement works being delivered to facilitate housing in the area to support social and economic development.

During these essential works, homes and businesses will experience water outage disruption. Following the completion and due to the extent of works water supply may take five to six hours to return as significant amount of water refills the network. Work crews will endeavour to complete these essential works ahead of time to expedite the return of supply to the affected areas.

When network improvement works and outages of this scale take place and once water has been restored it is not unusual for customers to experience cloudy or discoloured water in their supply, if this happens, please slowly run your kitchen cold water tap until the water clears. Do not use your washing machine, dishwasher, shower, or any similar appliance until the water clears.

To facilitate safe delivery of the works there is a need implement temporary traffic management and to operate under a local road closure. The road closure granted by Cork City Council will be in place until works are completed. During a planned road closure, local and emergency access will always be maintained. Diversion routes will be in place and clearly signposted.
