Statement in full –
Uisce Éireann is working to restore water supply to customers in Frosses Village following a burst water main that occurred in the early hours of this morning.
Repair crews are on site and works are progressing well, with supply expected to be restored this afternoon.
Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan said: “We understand the inconvenience caused by an unplanned outage such as this and would like to thank customers in Frosses Village for their patience while crews carry out essential repair works.

Typically, it takes three to four hours following repairs for 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.
