The utility has warned that the reservoir level is very low and water restrictions have been imposed - Water supply will be on from 4pm to 8pm today but will be turned off again overnight.

It's understood that once the power is restored it will take the reservoir approximately half a day to fill to a level that can supply the network.

Irish Water is encouraging customers impacted to conserve water.
