Works progress on the Cork South Docks Networks Extension Project

01 November 2021

Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Cork City Council, are continuing to improve watermains connections on Anglesea Street to strengthen the water supply network in the Cork city south docks.

Uisce Éireann wishes to advise customers on South Terrace, Anglesea Street (south of Copley Street), Summerhill, Quaker Road, Windmill Road, Langford Row, Parkowen, Southern Road, Tonyville, South City Link Road, Capwell Business Depot, Capwell Road, Capwell Avenue, South Douglas Road and surrounding areas in Cork City, that there may be disruption to water supply from 11pm on Thursday, 4 November until 3am on Friday, 5 November.

During these essential works, homes and businesses in the above areas may be impacted by reduced water pressure and water outages. Following the completion of improvement works; water supply may take 2-3 hours to return as water refills the network. Work crews will endeavour to complete works ahead of time in order to expedite the return of supply to the affected areas.

Uisce Éireann understands this type of work can be inconvenient and will ensure our work crews make every effort to minimise any disruption these works may cause.

Uisce Éireann’s customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact us on Twitter @IWCare with any queries. For updates please visit the Supply and Service Updates section or set your location on our website.

The works on Anglesea Street are being carried out as part of the Uisce Éireann’s Growth and Development programme. The works that commenced on November 1, take place between the junction of Anglesea Street/Old Station Road and Anglesea Street/South Terrace and are being carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Ward and Burke Limited. Monday-Friday night-time traffic restrictions remain in place with the works expected to be finished by mid-November.

Uisce Éireann continues to work at this time with our Local Authority partners, contractors and others to safeguard the health and well-being of both staff and the public and to ensure the continuity of critical drinking water and wastewater services. Uisce Éireann would like to remind people to follow the HSE COVID-19 advice and ensure frequent handwashing.
