Uisce Éireann crews have repaired a burst water main on Clare Island and a normal water supply is returning to customers.
Crews arrived on the island this morning to carry out repairs after the burst caused a disruption to supply for islanders in Kill, Glen, Fawnlass, Capnagower and the Quay.
Uisce Éireann’s Colette Scahill thanked residents and visitors to the island for their patience while crews worked throughout the day.
“We understand how disruptive unplanned outages are. Water is now returning to all properties on the island."
