Water supply restored in Cork City following repair to a burst water main
Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section.
Water supply is returning to normal for customers in parts of Cork City, including Dublin Hill, Rathpeacon and surrounding areas following a large burst to a watermain. Impacted customers can expect water supply to return to their properties over the course of the day.
As the network refills and supplies return throughout the day, customers at the end of the network may experience intermittent disruption or low water pressure for a number of hours. Customers may also experience short-term discolouration to their supply. For more information, customers can visit: www.water.ie/water-supply/supply-issues/discoloured-water.
