Uisce Éireann crews are currently working to repair a major burst to a water main in the Cooley area and restore water to customers affected. Customers in Cooley, Rath, Omeath, Carlingford, Jenkinstown and surrounding areas are affected.
Uisce Éireann’s James O’Hagan has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible.
Alternative water supplies, in the form of bulk tankers are now in place, and can be availed of at;
- Cooley Kickhams GAA car park
- Omeath bottle bank
Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from tankers and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure.
Uisce Éireann’s James O’Hagan said, “We understand how disruptive unplanned outages are and we sincerely regret any inconvenience caused. We also want to thank impacted customers for their patience as we work to restore normal supplies.”
