Irish Water, working in partnership with Cork County Council is working to restore normal water supply as quickly as possible to all impacted customers following issues at a pumping station in Ballincurrig, Lisgoold. Customers may experience low pressure and some discoloured water during this time. There is an estimated restoration time of midnight tonight and once completed, the water will begin to return as normal, but may take longer for those on the extremities of the network or on higher ground.
