The supply was affected by Storm Bert at the weekend.
Water supply has been restored for impacted customers in Fermoy, Co. Cork and surrounding areas. Water production at the Fermoy Water Treatment Plant was temporarily suspended over the weekend due to raw water turbidity issues at the plant caused by Storm Bert.
Uisce Eireann says its priority is the provision of clean safe drinking water to communities and the safety of water services staff who work to make that happen.
As the network refills and supplies returns throughout the day, customers at the end of the network may experience intermittent disruption or low water pressure. Customers may also experience internal airlocks or short-term discolouration to their supply.
Uisce Éireann’s Niall O’Riordan said “We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding while crews worked in difficult weather conditions to restore supply.”
“We are appealing to customers to check for leaks in the home and carry out necessary leak repairs. We are also asking farmers to check their service pipes, drinking troughs and outbuildings. Repairing leaks can help to prevent issues like reduced water pressure or water supply disruptions. We are also asking the public for their support to help reduce overall demand by preventing avoidable loss of water and conserving water.”
