Large areas of Blackrock, Dromiskin, and Castlebellingham remain without water today due to a burst water main that occurred yesterday.
Irish Water has been dealing with the problem since it occurred yesterday morning with water pressure extremely low in these areas, particularly around the Golf Links Road and Fane Bridge areas.
Irish Water has apologised for any inconvenience caused and insist that the proper service is expected to be restored by 8pm this evening.
