NI Water update on repairs after Storm Eowyn as hundreds of properties remain affected

Northern Ireland Water says significant progress has been made since Storm Éowyn to repair damaged equipment and bring multiple assets which were impacted by the storm back into operation.

However, there are still approximately 300 properties across Northern Ireland experiencing a loss of water supply. Numbers can fluctuate depending on burst pipes, air locks etc.

In a message to customers, NI Water has given assurance that it won’t stop until all properties are back on supply and that as a 24/7 business, that work will continue day and night until water supplies return to normal.
