Major burst on water mains on Tullow Road, Carlow
Homes and businesses in Idrone Park, Tullow Road and surrounding areas have been affected
THERE has been a significant burst on a water main on the Tullow Road, Carlow and Uisce Éireann crews are currently carrying out urgent repairs. The burst is impacting water supply to homes and businesses in Idrone Park, Tullow Road, and surrounding areas.
Crews are on site, and it is expected that works will be completed later today.
Shane Aylward, Water Network Operations Lead, Uisce Éireann, said: “The repairs are being conducted as quickly and as efficiently as possible but are complex due to the location and size of the burst. We understand the inconvenience an unplanned outage can have on our customers and appreciate their patience as we work to return normal water supply as quickly as possible.”
To ensure the safety of the crews carrying out the repairs to the burst and the safety of the public, traffic management will be in place and will be clearly signposted Once water is restored, customers may experience temporary discolouration as the network refills. If this occurs, Uisce Éireann recommends running the cold kitchen tap until the water runs clear.
