A BURST watermain has left Liscannor and Kilshanny without water.
Crews from Uisce Éireann have been working to restore supply since Tuesday afternoon. A burst watermain has left households and businesses without water. Areas impacted include Liscannor, Derreen, Ballysteen, Moymore, Ballycotton, Carrowduff, and parts of Kilshanny.
Expert water service crews have been dispatched and are carrying out the required repair works, with every effort being made to complete this work as quickly as possible. A traffic management plan will be in place for the duration of the works. Repair works were expected to be completed by 6pm, a spokesperson for Uisce Éireann said.
“As per best practice, most homes and businesses will have on-site water storage to provide a backup source of water for sanitation purposes. Following repair works, it typically takes two to three hours for normal 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”.
Uisce Éireann’s Darragh Conneely said, “We understand the inconvenience unplanned outages can have on customers and we appreciate the community’s patience as we work to restore the water supply for affected customers”.
Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications from us for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.
