Homes and businesses in Drogheda and some surrounding areas, are without water due to what Irish Water says is "a major burst in a water main in Drogheda”. In a statement this morning Irish Water said it has “identified a major burst in a water main in Drogheda and is working with Louth County Council to restore water as quickly as possible to impacted customers”. To minimise the impact on customers, Irish Water and Louth County Council have reconfigured the network in order to allow reservoirs supplying the area to refill. A further update will be provided as repairs progress,” Irish Water said. Irish Water said its customer care team was available on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact the company on Twitter @IWCare with any queries, with more updates on www.water.ie.
