Water supply is returning to Uisce Éireann customers in Emly and surrounding areas in Co Tipperary following the successful repair of a burst water main.
Uisce Éireann crews have repaired the main, and water will be returning to impacted customers over the coming hours. However, it may take until tomorrow morning for normal supply to be fully restored to customers at the end of the network or on higher ground as the system recharges. Customers are also being asked to be mindful of their water usage during this period to allow supply to catch up with demand.
Customers in the following areas will see water returning over the coming hours:
• Coolboy
• Emly Village
• Glenbane
• Hospital Road
• Duncummin
• Ballyvista
• Knocklong Road
• Kyleenagallive
• Kilross
• Lattin
• Ballywire
• Mooresfort
• Moanmore
• Clerkstown
Pierce Faherty of Uisce Éireann thanked affected customers for their understanding while repair works were carried out: “Uisce Éireann acknowledges the disruption that can be caused by an unplanned interruption. We wish to thank customers in the area for their patience while these repairs were underway.”
