Uisce Eireann has confirmed that water supply has been restored to tens of thousands of homes in Dublin's city centre and suburbs after a major water main burst.
The company said expert water crews from Dublin City Council worked through the night to restore the network with worked completed at 2am this morning, and that water pressure is returning to normal in most areas. However, Uisce Eireann has warned that there may be "airlocks and water discolouration" in areas across the city, reports RTE.
At 10am on Thursday, Uisce Eireann received reports that a large high pressure water main had burst in the south inner city affecting tens of thousands of homes and businesses. It is understood that the road on Marrowbone Lane partially collapsed following the incident.
