Uisce Éireann crews have restored water supply to affected customers in Arklow following a power outage.
Uisce Éireann’s Eoghan Forristal said “Uisce Éireann acknowledges the inconvenience caused by unplanned water outages and we thank the affected customers for their patience and cooperation while we worked to restore supply.”
Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network.
