Uisce Éireann is carrying out essential works as part of upgrades to the water network from the Lough to Capwell towards South Douglas Road in Cork City. To facilitate these works, a water outage is necessary.

The works will take place from 9.30pm on Wednesday, 06 August until 12.30am on Thursday 07 August, and may result in a disruption of supply for Uisce Éireann customers in  Vicars Court, Vicars Road, Rose Lawn, Togher Road, Michael Fitzgerald Road, Charles Daly Road, The Acre, Marie Ville, Sarahville Place, Connolly Green, McDonagh Road, Kileenreendowney Avenue, Fr. Dominic Road North, Pearse Place, Plunkett Road, Edward Walsh Road, Patrick Trahy Road, Patrick O'Donoghue Place, Ardmanning Road, Pouladuff Road and surrounding areas in Cork City. 

Uisce Éireann’s Brian McCarthy thanked affected customers for their co-operation ahead of the essential works. 

“We wish to acknowledge the inconvenience caused by a planned outage, but these works are essential. I can assure affected customers that crews will complete the works as quickly as possible to restore normal water supply.” said Brian.

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network.
