Alternative water supplies remain in place today.
Water supply is returning to normal for impacted customers in Dunmanway, Co. Cork and surrounding areas. Due to high turbidity in the raw water supply as a result of storm flooding, production at the Dunmanway Water Treatment Plant was shut down over the weekend. While production has now recommenced at the water treatment plant, the reservoirs levels are very low.
As the network refills and supplies return throughout the day, customers at various points of the network may experience intermittent disruption or low water. Properties on high ground may experience short delays in water supply being fully restored. Customers may also experience short-term discolouration to their supply.

Alternative water supplies will remain in place today – Wednesday 27 November, in the form of bulk tankers, which can be accessed on Kilbarry Road, adjacent to Dunmanway Recycling Centre
Uisce Éireann’s Niall O’Riordan said “We acknowledge the inconvenience caused by interruptions to the water supply and very much appreciate the community’s co-operation while our crews worked to carry out the repairs and restore supply, which proved challenging and complex following Storm Bert.”
“We are appealing to customers to check for leaks in the home and carry out necessary leak repairs to prevent avoidable loss of water. We are also asking farmers to check their service pipes, drinking troughs and outbuildings asking the public for their support to help reduce overall demand by conserving water.”
