Water disruptions in Waterford due to burst pipe

Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a burst watermain and restore normal water supply to customers in Ballydasoon, on the outskirts of Youghal in west county Waterford following an unplanned outage.

Repairs are expected to be completed later this evening. 

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to return to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers at the end of the network or on higher ground as the system recharges.

Alternative water supplies will be available to affected customers from 5pm this evening. A bottled water station will be located at Lombards Pub. Customers are advised to bring their own containers where possible.
