Water Supply In Cork To be Shut Down This Evening For Works
Irish Water and the City Council will shut down the water supply at Cork Lower Reservoir from 11pm this evening.
Up to 35,000 people are expected to be affected by the supply interruption in the city centre and surrounding areas.
Irish Water say the work is necessary in order to carry out urgent repairs on a section of old water main in poor condition, which is at risk of bursting.
A similar burst on a different section of pipe resulted in water outages for residents and businesses across the city for several hours last week.
Irish Water and the City Council will be liaising with all vulnerable customers, hospitals and other large water users to ensure that the impact on them can be managed and minimised.
The company say they expect that water supply will be restored to all areas by 7am on Wednesday morning.
