David Gibbons, Water Operations Lead for Longford said he regrets the inconvenience for customers, adding: “We understand how disruptive unplanned outages are. We thank impacted customers in Granard and the surrounding area for their patience while we carry out repairs and restore the water supply as quickly as possible.”
Following repair works, it typically takes three to four hours for normal supply to be fully restored to all areas as the water refills the network, but it may take longer for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.
