Water in Tullow is restored 

Uisce Éireann has restored the normal water supply to homes and businesses after a significant burst in a water main in Tullow Town. The areas affected by the burst included Rathglass, Ardattin and surrounding areas.

Shane Aylward, the Water Network Operations Lead at Uisce Éireann, stated: "Last night, we experienced a burst in a large water main in the town. Our dedicated crews responded quickly and worked throughout the night and into the early morning to make the necessary repairs. Uisce Éireann understands the disruption that an unplanned outage can cause, and we would like to thank our customers in the area for their patience."

Following repair works, 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.

Homes and businesses in the affected areas may experience water pressure, temporary water discolouration or intermittent disruptions to the water supply as the network recharges.
