Crews responding to burst watermain in Enniscorthy

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a burst watermain in Enniscorthy and restore water supply to affected customers as quickly as possible.

The outage is impacting customers in the Greenville Lane, Moyne and Old Dublin Road areas. Repairs are currently underway, and it is estimated that normal supply will be restored later this afternoon.

Uisce Éireann's Padraig Lyng has assured affected customers that every effort is being made to restore supply as quickly and as safely as possible. 

"We understand the inconvenience that an unplanned outage can cause for customers and local businesses. Our crews are on site and working as quickly and safely as possible to repair the burst and restore water supplies to affected customers.

"We would like to thank customers for their patience and understanding while these repairs are completed and we work to return normal water supply to the area."

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 supply to be fully restored to customers at the end of the network or on higher ground as the system recharges.
