Uisce Éireann crews are on site to repair a major burst in Midleton. The unplanned outage may cause supply disruptions to customers in Midleton, Avoncore, Tir Cluain, Elsinore Rise, Broomfield and surrounding areas.  

Uisce Éireann’s Water Network Operations Manager, Michael Bell has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore water supply to impacted customers with works expected to be completed by 7pm this evening.  “We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage, and we thank customers for their support while our works continue,” said Michael.   

Typically, it takes three to four 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.
