Several homes in Macroom will experience an interruption to their water supply between 9.30am and 11.30am on Tuesday February 16th, while essential works will be carried out in the town by Irish Water, who are working in partnership with Cork County Council

These works will be carried out safely while adhering to current Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions.

'While works are ongoing, customers on the R582 Millstreet Road, the Glenties, the Hermitage, Sally Gardens, Millbrook Avenue, The Avenue, The Walk, The Green and Ros Alainn areas will experience interruptions to their water supply between 09:30 to 11:30 on Tuesday  February 16th,' said an Irish Water spokesperson.
