Repair complete and water supply returning for customers in Taghmon
Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section
Uisce Éireann crews have completed emergency repairs to a burst watermain in Taghmon, and supply is now returning to customers in the affected areas.
Customers in Monastery Avenue, Ard Munna, Taghmon and surrounding areas experienced disruption following the unplanned burst earlier today. Uisce Éireann’s crews worked quickly to repair the main and restore supply.
Uisce Éireann’s Water Network Operation Manager for Wexford, Padraig Lyng said: “We understand how disruptive an unplanned outage can be, and we thank all our customers for their patience while our crews worked as safely and quickly as possible to restore supply.”
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.
