Uisce Éireann has completed repair work to the water supply in Tipperary following a number of outages.
Remedial works were delayed due to the industrial strike action arising from a dispute between the Unite Trade Union and seven Local Authorities, which took place between Wednesday, 2 August, and Friday, 4 August inclusive. Following notification yesterday that the industrial action in Tipperary had ceased, crews were immediately dispatched and worked hard to return supplies.
Repairs have been completed, however, due to size of the network it could take until today, 07 August, for water supply to fully return to some customers especially those at the end of the network. Alternative water supplies will remain in place until normal supply has been fully restored to all customers.
All customers supplied by Glenary (Clonmel) Public Water Supply should now have supply returned.
Reservoir levels supplying Carrick on Suir (Linguan) Public Water Supply are recovering. Some customers at higher elevations are still experiencing low pressure/loss of supply, however, all customers should have normal supply returned by later this evening.
The network served by the Galtee Regional Water Supply Network is starting to recharge with water already returned to many areas on the East of the scheme including: Bansha, Kilfeacle, Cashel and New Inn. Unfortunately, a burst watermain has occurred and repairs are under way which will delay the return of water to the Donaskeigh area until today, 07 August.
On the West of the scheme it will take longer for water supply to return to all customers due to the size of the network. Customers in the following areas are still experiencing water outages: Ballyglass, Ardlamon, Ardavillane, Mount Bruise, Kilross, Ballywire, Roseboro, Lattin, Cullen, Limerick Junction and surrounding areas. Some areas will see water return today, however, customers at the extremities of the scheme and at higher elevations will not see normal water supply fully return until Sunday and possibly as late as today.
