Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section.
Uisce Éireann is working to restore normal water supply to homes and businesses following a fault at Jones Bridge Water Treatment Plant.
As a result, customers in the following areas may experience disruption to their water supply including: Tawnies, Shannonvale, Ballynascarthy, Ahamilla, The Curragh, Lisavaird, Bohonogh, Cahermore, Burgatia, Inchydoney, Darragh, Ring, Clogheen, Youghals, Rathbarry, Currahevern, Ballyduvane, Killkerran and surrounding areas.
Crews are on the ground working to restore normal water supply as quickly as possible to impacted customers.
