ALERT: Thousands of Waterford homes and businesses impacted by water supply disruption

Uisce Éireann says crews have been deployed and are working to restore the water supply to homes and businesses in Dungarvan and surrounding areas following an interruption to the local water supply.

The disruption relates to an issue at Dungarvan Water Treatment Plant overnight and is impacting customers in Abbeyside, Ballinroad, Clonea, Knocknagrannagh, Burgery, Ballinacourty, Dungarvan and surrounding areas.
