Supply returning for Uisce Éireann customers in Wexford Town

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

Water supply is returning to normal in Wexford Town following operational issues at Newtown Water Treatment Plant, which caused supply disruptions for Uisce Éireann customers in Whitemill, Townparks, Ard Charman, Barntown, Clonard, Taghmon, and surrounding areas on Sunday.

It typically takes three to four hours for the regular supply to be fully restored to all areas as the water refills the network, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.

As the network refills and supplies return throughout the day, customers at the end of the network may experience intermittent disruption or low water pressure for a number of hours. Customers may also experience short-term discolouration to their supply. For more information, customers can visit the Discoloured water page. 

Uisce Éireann’s Operations Manager, Padraig Lyng said “We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding while crews worked to restore supply to impacted areas.”
