Uisce Éireann wishes to notify customers in Bridgetown, Co Wexford of a planned outage which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, 22 October from 9am until 5pm.

The planned outage is to facilitate several essential leak repairs on a water main in the area.

The outage will impact supply to homes and businesses in Bridgetown, Tomhaggard and the surrounding area.

The repairs are part of extensive works being carried out by Uisce Éireann to alleviate ongoing supply disruptions in the area. To date, 20 leak repairs have been carried out in the area in recent weeks.

Padraig Lyng of Uisce Éireann apologised for the inconvenience the outage will cause.

“We acknowledge the impact that a planned outage has on our customers, and we assure affected customers that our crews will work as quickly as possible to complete the repairs and restore normal supply.”

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.
