In some instances, particularly in higher elevations, intermittent water outages may also occur. Supply interruption will occur today from 8am to 7pm.

Discussing the works, Operations Manager for Tipperary, Colin Cunningham, said: "Every effort will be made to reduce the impact of these works on homes and businesses in the area. We understand the impact a supply disruption can have on customers and would like to thank the local community for their patience and cooperation during the works."

Following the works, normal supply may take three to four hours to fully restore to all areas as the water refills the network, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.
