Uisce Éireann give update on a major disruption to water supply in Offaly following Storm Éowyn

UISCE Éireann crews are on the ground in County Offaly working to restore water supplies to Rhode village.

Following storm Éowyn a technical issue has arisen at Toberdaly Water Treatment Plant. Customers in Rhode Village will experience no water or very low pressure. Expert crews have been deployed and it is expected that works will be complete by 5pm today, Monday, January 27.

Alternative water supplies are available at Marrion Terrace and Hillside Estate.
