Uisce Éireann crews undertook emergency repair work on a significant burst watermain in Rathfarnham last night. The essential maintenance began at 8pm and was completed by 6am to limit disruption to residents, businesses, and local traffic.
Areas impacted included Rathfarnham, Terenure, Milltown, Rathgar, Dartry, Kimmage, Rathmines, and Harolds Cross, where customers experienced either low water pressure or temporary supply interruptions. Water Operations Manager Keith Conmy emphasised the priority given to safely restoring full supply as swiftly as possible, acknowledging the inconvenience caused.
Most properties in the affected zones had sufficient attic tank reserves to maintain hygiene for at least 24 hours. Following repairs, normal water flow typically resumed within two to three hours, although some locations on higher ground or network extremities took longer. Traffic management measures were implemented to protect repair crews and the public. Customers can track updates using the reference DCC00118337 on Uisce Éireann’s website, and vulnerable individuals were contacted directly to provide support.
