Uisce Éireann is working to address supply interruptions to impacted customers across County Cork following Storm Éowyn.
Repair crews have commenced restoration works in areas where the status red weather warning has been lifted.
Their priority is the provision of clean safe drinking water to communities and the safety of water services staff who work to make that happen.
Storm Éowyn has led to poor raw water quality at the Ballinatona Water Treatment Plant in North Cork and, as a result, production has been suspended at the plant. The Ballinatona Water Treatment Plant supplies drinking water to the communities of Newmarket, Meelin, Barnacurra, Ballyduane, Taur, Boherbue, Dernagree, Knocknagree, Kiskeam, Ballydesmond, Kilbrin and surrounding areas. Customers in the impacted areas are expected to experience reduced water pressure or loss of supply.
Water outages may also be impacting some customers in other parts of the county including Minane Bridge, Roberts Cove and outlying areas of Midleton. Updates on local supply issues will be provided on the Uisce Éireann website, www.water.ie, as they become available.
