THERE WILL BE significant disruptions to the water supply across houses in Dublin today following a major burst on a water mains at Swords.

Engineers are currently carrying out repairs but Fingal County Council has advised that a total water loss may be experienced by those living in the Lissenhall to North Street area.

The council estimates that water will be restored by 11pm on Saturday night.

In the meantime, tankers will be provided. However, it may take some hours to sanitise and install them at the locations required.

There could also be “intermittent interruptions” over the coming days across other areas, including Clare Hall, Darndale, Donaghmede, Artane, Coolock and Santry. A map highlighting the affected regions in Dublin City Council’s area can be downloaded here.
