Work continues to restore water services in Tipperary
Irish Water and Tipperary County Council are working to restore supply to all customers impacted by water outages following Storm Ellen. Customers in Cashel, Glengar, Lisnagaul and surrounding areas remain without water at this time.
Cashel: Power has been restored in Cashel and water supply should be returning to all customers as the network is recharging throughout today. A burst main in Caiseal na Rí is also impacting water supply to customers in the area. A water tanker will be provided for customers impacted at the St. Patrick’s Hospital area on the Cahir Road later this afternoon.
Glengar: Power outages have resulted in disruptions to water supply. A tanker remains in place in the village for those impacted.
Lisnagaul: Power has been restored to the area and water supply should be returning to all customer impacted throughout today. Alternative water supplies remain in place in the area today.
Water supply has been restored to customers in Tipperary town and Clonmel.
Further updates will be available on the Irish Water website, water.ie and on Twitter @IWCare. Our customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1850 278 278 Irish Water understands the inconvenience when a supply outage occurs and thanks customers for their patience while we work to restore normal supply to impacted customers.
Following extended outages it may take a number of hours for normal supply to return to some customers at the ends of the network. There may also be some temporary discolouration of water and occasionally issues such as internal airlocks may arise following a prolonged outage. There are helpful tips on what to do following an outage, including clearing airlocks, on the Irish Water website at https://www.water.ie/water-supply/supply-issues/following-an-outage/
We are working at this time, with our Local Authority partners, contractors and others to safeguard the health and well-being of both staff and the public and to ensure the continuity of critical drinking water and wastewater services. Irish Water would like to remind people to follow the HSE Covid-19 advice and ensure frequent handwashing.
