Water supply returning for customers in Cootehill and Kingscourt

Power outage at other plants across the county, also due to storm Éowyn, continue to affect supplies

Water supply is returning to Uisce Éireann customers across County Cavan after power was restored to Cootehill and Kingscourt Water Treatment Plants.

Uisce Éireann’s Peter Gallagher thanked the ESB and crews who have worked tirelessly throughout the night to get both plants back in operation.

“There is some good news for customers in Cavan this afternoon however it will take some time for the network to replenish and a full supply to return to all customers served by Cootehill and Kingscourt Water Supply Schemes.

“Those affected by power outages in areas where supply is pumped will continue to experience a disruption to their supply until power is restored.”

Meanwhile, power outage at other plants across the county, also due to storm Éowyn, continue to affect supplies in parts of:

• Ballyjamesduff

• Bailieborough

• Belturbet

• Ballyconnell

• Swanlinbar

• Virginia

• Mullagh

“We continue to coordinate with other agencies to restore normal water supplies as quickly as possible. Once power is returned to an area it may take some time for normal water supply to be restored. Customers can go to www.water.ie and enter their address for details of localised issues and estimated restoration times.”
