Water supply is returning to customers in Cloonfad after crews successfully repaired a burst on a water main in the village. 

The network is now refilling and normal water supply will return gradually over the coming hours.

The burst disrupted supply for homes and businesses in parts of Cloonfad this morning, but with repairs now complete, our crews are continuing to monitor the network as water pressure recovers.

Providing an update, Ger Greally of Uisce Éireann said: “We know how frustrating it has been for customers to experience a number of water supply disruptions in recent weeks, and we sincerely regret the impact these outages have had on homes, businesses and the wider community. We want to assure customers that we are doing everything we can to minimise further disruption, both through our response to incidents as they arise and through the ongoing water mains replacement works currently underway in the area.

“We would like to thank the people of Cloonfad for their continued patience and understanding while our crews carried out these repairs. The burst has now been repaired and water supply is returning to customers as the network continues to refill. While many customers will see supplies return quickly, it can take a number of hours for water pressure to fully recover across the network, particularly for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.”
