Water supply returned to major Tipperary town after burst pipe forced businesses to close
Water supplies are returning in parts of a major Tipperary town which were without water for the morning (Thursday, June 26) after a burst water main in the town.
Residents and businesses in Tipperary town were without water after a burst water main in the Pearse Park area of the town.
It is not clear how many Uisce Éireann customers were impacted by the outage.
Uisce Éireann confirmed that repairs to the water main may cause supply disruption across the town throughout the day.
It is expected that works will be complete by 2pm this afternoon, Uisce Éireann have said.
"We recommend that you allow 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time for your supply to fully return,” the utility added.
It is understood that the town’s Community Services Centre has had to close its doors today as a result of the outage, however the Meals on Wheels service will still continue to operate.
Citizen’s Information and the INTREO office, which are based at the Community Services Centre, will remain closed today because of the lack of water.
Local café The Gable Coffee Bar had also been forced to stop serving coffee due to the water outage, but remained open for sweet treats and snacks. They have since restarted serving coffee since the water has come back on.
