Water supply returning to Cloonfad community

Uisce Éireann has confirmed that water supply is returning to customers in Cloonfad after crews successfully repaired a burst on a water main in the village.

Spokesperson for the company, Ger Greally, said the network is "now refilling and normal water supply will return gradually over the coming hours".

The burst disrupted supply for homes and businesses in parts of Cloonfad this morning, but with repairs now complete, Uisce Éireann crews are continuing to monitor the network as water pressure recovers.

“We recognise that the repeated interruptions to water supply have been difficult for the Cloonfad community, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

"Our priority is to reduce the impact on customers wherever possible, while continuing the mains replacement programme that will help improve the reliability of the local water network.

“We sincerely appreciate the patience shown by customers throughout these disruptions. Water is now making its way back through the network following the repairs completed this afternoon.

"It will take some time for the system to fully recharge, so normal pressure may return more gradually for customers in elevated areas or at the extremities of the network," Greally added.
