Dublin water restored
Tankers supplied water to parts of the city yesterday.
REPAIR WORK ON the damaged watermain at Marrowbone Lane, Dublin, has been completed. Dublin City Council said yesterday evening that normal supply should be restored to all areas by last night.
The pipe burst on Friday afternoon, leaving thousands of people without water as repair work was carried out.
Some areas in the north of the city were served fresh water via tankers. The Swords Road, Beaumont Road, and Ballymun Road were all supplied with tankers until 7pm yesterday.
The council said that while some residents may have seen discoloured water coming through their taps, the water would clear as the water supply returned to normal. Residents are still urged to conserve their use of water to help normalise water pressure.
