The water supply in Mallow town, Co Cork, has been fully restored following the completion of remedial works.

Work took place to address a secondary issue that occurred following repairs to a burst watermain in Castlelands on Friday 06 January, impacting some customers on the northside of Mallow Town.

Dedicated water service crews worked late into the night carrying out the repairs to restore normal water supply as quickly as possible. Normal water supply has now been fully restored to all customers.

I would like to acknowledge the work and dedication of our colleagues in Cork County Council who worked through the night to ensure the complex repairs were completed and that no further issues were identified.
