NI Water has announced that all water assets affected by Storm Éowyn are now operational, with normal service restored to all customers as of January 29.

While supply has been reinstated, staff continue to work around the clock to inspect infrastructure, particularly sites still reliant on generators or those that have lost monitoring capabilities.

NI Water has reassured customers that teams remain on the ground to ensure the stability of the network and the continued delivery of water services.

Director of Customer & Operations, Stephanie McCullagh, commented: "We would like to take this opportunity to thank local Councils, agencies and elected representatives who have been working alongside us to distribute bottled water, assist with access to our sites and help identify vulnerable customers. This has been a massive joint effort, made much easier by the patience and understanding of the customers impacted.

"While the commitment and dedication shown by NI Water staff does not surprise me, the sheer efforts and lengths they have gone to under unprecedented weather conditions are truly commendable, and once again shines a light on how vital water and our water workers are to our daily lives."
