Crews on site to repair major burst pipe in Tramore

Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a major burst that occurred overnight in Tramore and restore water to customers affected.

Customers in Tramore, Butlerstown and surrounding areas may experience reduced pressure or outages while repairs are underway.

Maura Phelan, Water Operations Manager for Waterford, said today that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply.  

She added that it will be a challenging repair due to the size and location of the burst.

“We are also reconfiguring the network where possible to reduce the number of customers affected” she said.

“We understand how disruptive unplanned outages can be, and we thank customers for their patience and support while repairs are underway. We estimate repairs will be completed later this evening.” 

Following repair works, it typically takes three to four hours for normal supply to return to all customers as the network refills, particularly for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.
