Uisce Éireann says that water supply in Laois is ‘returning to normal’ following the impact of Storm Éowyn.
The state body, known previously as Irish Water, says that crews have been working tirelessly to restore water supply to homes and businesses in Laois over the last number of days.
The majority of water supplies in the county have been restored, but some customers may experience low pressure or disruptions as the networks begin to recharge.
Uisce Éireann’s Blathnaid Cox urged customers to continue to conserve water as the network recharges to protect the supply.
She said: “Water has been restored to almost all our customers who were affected by the recent storm; however, it may take longer for those on higher ground or at the periphery of the network to have their supply fully restored.
“We would like to thank the public for their patience and understanding following Storm Éowyn.
“Our teams worked diligently and safely to restore the supply as quickly as possible.
“We would also like to express our thanks to the ESB and other agencies who helped ensure that all available resources were deployed to support the return of water supplies.”
