Power restored and water supply returning to normal in Cashel, Tipperary
Update 12 August 2022 - 4:30pm
Power restored and water supply returning to normal
Normal water supply will begin to return to normal this afternoon, with those on higher ground or on the extremities of the network taking longer. Customers are also asked to be mindful of their water usage and to conserve water around their homes and businesses as the dry period continues, and demand increases once supply is restored fully.
Previous Updates
Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Tipperary County Council wishes to advise that some customers served by the Springmount Golden Water Treatment Plant may experience loss of supply or low pressure today as production has been affected by a power supply failure. The reservoir level is also quite low, however crews are on site and are working to resolve the power fault as soon as possible. It is estimated that between 5,000-10,000 customers may be affected. Once the electricity supply returns and the water treatment plant begins production again, it will take a number of hours for the reservoir levels to return and normal water supply to reach optimal levels.
Uisce Éireann understands that unplanned outages are inconvenient and frustrating, but the utility is working as quickly and as safely as possible with our partners in Tipperary County Council in order to restore water supply as soon as possible.
The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact us on Twitter @IWCare with any queries.
