LIMERICK CITY COUNCIL has said that water supplies have now been restored in most areas of the city after a large water main burst this morning.
The incident occurred at the Kilmallock Road Roundabout on the Childers Road at 5.30am.
The council said engineers have since redistributed water from other parts of the city to affected customers. Repair work to the damaged water main will continue throughout the day.
There was some flooding as a result of the burst water main but the council said that no property was affected. The floodwaters receded after the main supply was switched off.
The affected section of road reopened to traffic at 8.30am and the council said traffic is once again moving smoothly through the area.

It probably cost a trillion dollars to develop, could have bought one on amazon for $9.99 made in China
@Martin Sinnott: But it wouldn’t be delivered in time
What’s the postcode for Mars? Can’t deliver without one!
“Human built rovers”??? As opposed to the Martian
@Graham: built ones
They’re Contra rotating blades as opposed to counter!!
Hope everyone reading this knows what a “sliotar” is and it’s size !
@Marie Berrill: Most people do. If not google! :-)
It’s hard to believe the American tax payers still buys into this NASA con artist scam and continue to allow themselves to be robbed to the tune of 31.5 million dollars per day or this unadulterated garbage.
“Engineers built the copter’s twin, counter-rotating blades to “bite into the thin Martian atmosphere at almost 3,000 rpm – about 10 times the rate of a helicopter on Earth,” said a NASA statement”.
Perhaps NASA “engineers” should have when to Dyson. Dyson engineers developed a DC frequency driven motor capable of speeds of 110,000 rpm! If only Dyson did Photoshop and had a film crew in Devon Canada, where the fake mars footage was shot, they could blow NASA out to space, excuse the pun!
The pilot must b tiny?
The singularity is here. The population of Mars is entirely made up of robots (14 of them), whilst us mere humans are unable to make the journey. All hail our robot overlords.
