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

Crews are on site in Mullagh, Co Cavan this morning working to restore water to customers affected by a burst water main.

Uisce Éireann and Cavan County Council are working together to detect and fix the leak affecting Mullagh and surrounding areas. 

Operations Lead for Uisce Éireann Peter Gallagher assured customers that crews are working as quickly as possible to find the leak and carry out the essential repairs and appealed to local residents and businesses to conserve water at this time. 

“It’s essential we conserve water and I am asking customers to continue with their efforts by not running taps needlessly, taking showers instead of baths and to postpone using dishwashers and washing machines where possible.”

He also called on local farmers to check drinkers in fields to ensure they are not losing water. 

Further information on water conservation is available on the Conservation section of our website.

“We understand the inconvenience unplanned outages can have on customers and we appreciate their patience as we work to detect and repair the burst and return the water supply,” Peter added.  

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

Our customer care team is available to help 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact us on Twitter @IWCare with any queries. For further updates please see the Uisce Éireann website.
