Restoration Timeline & Considerations

Uisce Éireann’s​ Ger Greally stated that every effort is being made to restore a ⁢full ‌water supply‌ as quickly as possible. While typical restoration time⁢ following repairs is two‍ to three hours, customers at higher elevations ⁢or those located⁢ at the periphery of the network⁣ may experience a⁢ longer wait as the system repressurizes.
