Efforts to mitigate the impact of the second burst have been underway.
Despite efforts to rectify a burst main in Leixlip, Tuesday evening's repair success was short-lived as a second burst emerged, exacerbating the situation and prolonging water supply disruptions for some residents.
Following the initial burst on Tuesday, May 7th, that impacted thousands of residents, water restoration was achieved by Wednesday morning.
However, the relief was overshadowed by the emergence of another burst, affecting a smaller yet significant area, including a number of properties and a hotel that has been used as a temporary accommodation centre.
The repair operation for the second burst, deemed more complex than the initial one, has posed considerable challenges, leading Uisce Eirean to anticipate a prolonged timeframe for resolution.
Efforts to mitigate the impact of the second burst have been underway, with crews mobilised to provide alternative water supplies to the affected vicinity.
Despite these measures, residents continue to face uncertainty regarding the duration of the disruption and the restoration of normal water services.
