Water outage in South Kildare
Repairs are expected to be completed by 4 pm tomorrow afternoon
Uisce Éireann is working to restore the water supply in South Kildare as "quickly as possible" to impacted customers following a large burst on a water main. The areas affected Castledermot, Moone and Timolin and surrounding areas in South Kildare along with Rathvilly, Bough, Cuckoo Corner, Slaney Bank, Ricketstown and surrounding areas in Co. Carlow and Uisce Éireann’s Jim Fitzgerald has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore full water supply as quickly as possible.
“The repairs are being conducted as quickly and as efficiently as possible but are complex due to the location and size of the burst. We understand the inconvenience an unplanned outage can have on our customers and appreciate their patience as we work to return normal water supply as quickly as possible."
Repairs are expected to be completed by 4pm tomorrow afternoon, Friday, 27 June, and it may take two to three hours after this to restore normal supply to all customers affected by this unplanned outage.
To ensure the safety of the crews carrying out the repairs to the burst and the safety of the public, traffic management will be in place and will be clearly signposted.
