Uisce Éireann Aims to Repair Major Dublin Water Main Burst by 2 AM, June 26

Uisce Éireann is working to repair a significant burst water main on Harcourt Road in Dublin City, with restoration efforts expected to conclude by 2 AM tonight, June 26. The utility company is making every effort to expedite the return of full water supply to affected customers in areas including Camden Street, Clanbrassil Street, Harcourt Street, and the South Circular Road.

A spokesperson for Uisce Éireann acknowledged the challenges posed by unplanned outages, especially during the current warm weather conditions. The company assured impacted customers that crews are working as quickly as possible to repair the burst and reinstate normal supply. Traffic management measures have been implemented and are clearly signposted around the repair site.

Following the completion of repairs, it typically takes two to three hours for normal water supply to be fully restored to all affected customers. However, customers located at the end of the network or on higher ground may experience longer restoration times as the system recharges. For real-time updates, customers are advised to visit the water supply and services section of Uisce Éireann’s website and use reference code DCC00114749.

Vulnerable customers registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications regarding planned and unplanned outages exceeding four hours.
