WATER supply has been restored to households and businesses in O’Briensbridge.
Mechnical issues experienced at the water treatment plant in O’Briensbridge led to a loss of supply for customers on Wednesday and Thursday.
Short-term discolouration has been cautioned by Uisce Éireann who said the customers on higher ground may experience intermittent disruption or low water pressure as the network refills and supplies return.
Uisce Éireann’s Darragh Conneely said “We acknowledge the inconvenience caused by interruptions to the water supply and very much appreciate the community’s co-operation while our crews worked to carry out the repairs and restore supply.”
Customers are urged to report loss of service or visible leaks to assist Uisce Éireann to identify bursts. The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278. Uisce Éireann has launched a free text service, providing real-time updates for local issues. Customers can sign up with their Eircode and mobile number at the text alerts page.
