Water supply returning in Tramore following completion of repairs following a major burst

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

Water supply is returning to customers in Tramore and surrounding areas following the completion of repair works earlier today due to a major burst.

Maura Phelan, Uisce Éireann Water Operations Manager, thanked affected customers for their cooperation during repair works "Uisce Éireann acknowledges the inconvenience caused by the burst watermain to the water supply and sincerely thanks our customers for their patience and cooperation while essential repair works were carried out. Crews on the ground worked hard to minimise the number of customers affected by the burst and to restore supply as quickly and safely as possible.”

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers at the end of the network as the system recharges. As supply returns, there may be instances of discolouration as the network refills. Customers are advised to run their taps until the water runs clear.

Uisce Éireann is committed to keeping customers informed across multiple platforms.  Our customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact us on X @IWCare with any queries. For updates, please see the water supply and services section of our website.

Vulnerable customers registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications from us for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.
