Uisce Éireann crews repairing burst water main in Wexford Town 

Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a burst water main in Wexford Town and restore water to customers affected.  

The burst is impacting customers in Ard Carman and the surrounding areas. 

Uisce Éireann’s Padraig Lyng has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible.  

“We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while our works continue.” 

Repairs are expected to be completed by 8pm today. Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers at the end of the network or on higher ground as the system recharges.  

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. 

Vulnerable customers who are registered with Uisce Éireann will continue to receive direct communications for outages lasting longer than four hours. Anyone wishing to register as a vulnerable customer or as an alternative contact can do so on our Vulnerable Customers page.
