Uisce Éireann says the disruption relates to an issue at Dungarvan Water Treatment Plant overnight
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.
Uisce Éireann says customers will experience reduced water pressure and in some cases outages throughout the day.
"Operations crews are on site, and every effort is being made to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and restore supply to impacted customers," said a spokesperson.
Maura Phelan, Uisce Éireann Water Operations Manager, explained: "We understand the inconvenience this is causing, and our teams are working to restore the water supply as quickly as possible. Once normal operations are restored, it will take several hours for the network to refill and normal supply to return to all customers.”
