It typically takes two to three hours following repairs for full supply to restore to all customers affected by a water supply outage. 

Peter Gallagher, Operations Lead with Uisce Éireann, thanked customers for their patience while work was underway. 

Our teams conducted the repairs as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimise disruption. We understand the inconvenience an outage can have on customers, and we appreciate their co-operation.”
