Burst water main expected to be fixed by this evening

By Michelle Crean
It's expected that the burst water main - which is causing considerable delays to traffic in Farranfore today (Friday) - should be fixed by this evening.
Irish Water and Kerry County Council are currently working on rectifying the issue which is impacting water supply to homes and businesses in Farranfore and surrounding areas including Scartaglin, Cordal, Currans, Currow, Farranfore, Ballymacelligott, Firies, Castlemaine and Milltown areas.
Crews are working to repair the burst as quickly and as safely as possible and restore water supply to homes and businesses in the affected area. Works are expected to be completed this evening. It's recommended to allow two to three hours after the estimated restoration time for your water supply to fully return.
Traffic management, including diversions, will be in place while the works are being carried out.
In the meantime it is important that people in surrounding areas continue to conserve water in order to reduce the pressure on local supplies which will be depleted as a result of this burst. Tips on conservation can be found at www.water.ie/conservation.
