Flushing of Gardiner’s Hill, Ard Na Laoi & Ballinderry Park

02 January 2024

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section.

Uisce Éireann and Cork City Council wish to advise customers in Gardiner’s Hill, Ard Na Laoi and Ballinderry Park areas that reactive flushing works are being carried out on the water network this morning.

These works are being carried out after reports to our Customer Care Team from residents in the area. Following the flushing works, there may be an increase in discoloured water at customers taps over the next 24 hours. If this occurs, running the tap for several minutes will usually restore water to a clear colour. Water is safe to drink once the water is running clear. Uisce Éireann continues to advise customers not to drink discoloured water.

Ongoing testing and analysis of the water supply continues, in conjunction with extensive monitoring across Cork City’s distribution network. This ensures the water is compliant with drinking water regulations and is safe to drink. The results of these ongoing tests are shared with the EPA and the HSE. 

If there are water quality issues in your home or business, please contact the Uisce Éireann customer care helpline, open 24/7, on 1800 278 278.
