ALERT: Thousands of Waterford homes and businesses warned of disruptions to water supply
Uisce Éireann says day-long outage is to facilitate critical ESB works following Storm Eowyn
Uisce Éireann is advising householders and businesses in the Comeragh Municipal District of a planned water disruption which will impact thousands of customers this Wednesday.
The outage, from 8am to 6pm, is to facilitate critical ESB works following Storm Éowyn.
The Utility says supply interruptions and reduced water pressure will impact customers in the following areas: Fews, Killrossanty, Lemybrien, Ballynaneen, Ballyogarty, Kilmacthomas, Bunmahon and surrounding areas.
"Every effort will be made to reduce the impact of these works on homes and businesses and to restore the water supply as quickly as possible. Uisce Éireann would like to thank the community in advance for their patience and co-operation," said a spokesperson.
Uisce Eireann says once the works are complete it may take three to four hours for normal supplies to return to all customers as the network replenishes.
