Irish Water working to restore water supply in parts of Portmarnock following burst water main

Irish Water say they are working to restore water supply to homes and businesses in parts of Portmarnock following a burst watermain with crews working to repair the burst watermain “as quickly and as safely as possible.”

Properties in the following areas may be impacted by disruption to their supply while the repairs are underway; the area encompassed by Limetree Avenue, Strand Road and Carrickhill Road; Dal Riada and surrounding areas.

A spokesperson for Irish Water said: “The repairs are expected to be completed by 4pm.

“Once the repairs are successfully completed, normal water supply will begin to be restored. Full water supply may take 1-2 hours to return as water refills the network.

“Irish Water is working at this time, with our Local Authority partners, contractors and others to safeguard the health and well-being of both staff and the public and to ensure the continuity of critical drinking water and wastewater services.”
