Irish Water says it expects water to be restored to Carrigaholt and its surrounding areas in the next number of outages.
It’s after the utility completed repairs to a burst water main yesterday which is believed to have impacted on supply.
Dedicated water service crews were mobilised and repairs were completed this morning, with Irish Water telling Clare FM this lunchtime that it can take ‘two to three hours after this’ to restore normal supply to all customers.
They say they ‘appreciate’ customers’ patience in the Carrigaholt area and understand the ‘inconvenience’ unplanned outages can cause.
