Uisce Éireann have completed works at the Kealkill Water Treatment Plant without any supply interruption for customers. 

The plant had originally shutdown due to poor raw water quality and turbidity as a result of heavy rainfall at the weekend. This also caused treated water storage in the reservoir to fall below safe levels.  

Operations Lead for Uisce Éireann, Niall O’Riordan, thanked the people of West Cork for conserving water during the works and praised his colleagues for their efforts:

“I want to thank everyone in the Kealkill area for playing their part by conserving water. I would also like to thank my Uisce Éireann colleagues for their hard work today. As a result, the plant is back up and running without any interruption to the water supply.”

The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact us on Twitter @IWCare with any queries. For updates please visit the Water Supply Updates section of www.water.ie
