Flooding reported in parts of Waterford city after heavy rain last night

Flooding was reported in parts of Waterford city after heavy rain last night.

Heavy downpours at around 9pm on Monday night led to flooding in certain areas of the city.

Passage Road, behind Newtown Secondary School, was flooded and became impassable for a period.

Waterford City and County Council workers were out clearing the drains early this morning and the road is now open as normal.

Similarly, there was serious flooding in the Sallypark area, just past Plunkett Station heading in the Grannagh direction.

However, that road is also being used by motorists again this morning.

Met Éireann is forecasting heavy showers in Waterford again this evening.
