UPDATED: Water outages in Tower end as repairs completed

Uisce Éireann said the issues concerning Tower earlier are now concluded as repairs have been completed, following a burst earlier today.

Following a burst on a high pressure water main from Curraleigh Reservoir, dedicated water services crews were immediately dispatched and worked on repairs as quickly as possible to reduce the impact on homes and businesses and restore normal water supply. Repairs were completed quickly and reservoirs began to refill, however, a mechanical failure at the pumping station near the Cemetery in Tower, is resulting in further outages impacting customers in Cloghphillip, Kerry Road, Model Village, Dromin Drive and parts of Bawnafinny.

Irish Water said it can take two to three hours following low pressure for normal supply to be fully restored to all areas as water refills the network.
