Irish Water and Dublin City Council have completed repairs to a large burst water main which caused widespread outages and low water pressure in south Co Dublin.
The areas affected were in Rathfarnham, Rathdown, Crannagh, Terenure, Milltown, Rathgar, Ranelagh, Bushy Park, Rathmines, Harold's Cross and surrounding areas.
Irish Water said crews were mobilised after reports of supply disruptions and worked throughout the day to replace an eight-metre section of aging pipeline in order to restore normal water supply to customers.
Regional Asset Operations Lead at Irish Water Joe O'Reilly said it could now take up to six hours for full supply to be restored, particularly at properties on higher ground or those on the edge of the network.
"Customers may experience some temporary discolouration of water following the works and occasionally issues such as internal airlocks may arise," he said.
He added that Irish Water understands the inconvenience, and thanked customers for their patience.
