Water supply restored to customers in Tipperary Town

Uisce Éireann is advising customers in Tipperary town of outages following an interruption at the local water treatment plant. Crews began working to rectify the supply interruption this afternoon. 

Alternative water supplies will be available by 8pm tonight in the following locations: 
•    Tipperary Town graveyard 
•    Rossmore Village estate, Tipperary Town 

Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tanker and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure, as per advice from the Health Service Executive. 

Uisce Éireann’s Pierce Faherty has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible.  “We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while normal supply is being restored.” 

Supply is expected to be restored by 9am tomorrow, Wednesday, 08 October. 

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