Uisce Éireann's Darragh Conneely, said: "We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while our crews work to ensure that a normal water supply is returned to all of our customers as quickly as possible."

After repair work is completed, it usually takes two to three hours for the water supply to fully restore across all areas. This process can be slower for those situated on higher ground or at the end of the network as the water refills the system.
