The water supply is returning to normal levels in Bennettsbridge after Uisce Éireann crews successfully completed repairs to a burst water main on the village's Public Water Supply Scheme.
The repairs were necessary due to a significant burst in the water main that supplies Bennettsbridge, Dungarvan, Danesfort, Kells, Stoneyford, Dunnamaggin, Knocktopher, Ballyhale, and surrounding areas.
"Our crews worked throughout the night, and repairs were finished in the early hours of the morning," Shane Aylward, Uisce Éireann’s Operations Manager, told Kilkenny Live.
"Normal water supply has been restored for the majority of customers, however, those at the end of the network may experience a delay as the network recharges.

Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann will receive direct communications regarding both planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.
