Irish Water says night-time restrictions may be needed in some areas of the county in the coming days following the major water burst in Muckross this week.

The utility says the water supply should have returned to most of the areas impacted.

Since repairing the burst on Wednesday morning, crews have been working to ensure the supply is fully restored to the 50,000 homes and business affected.

Irish Water says as the geographical area impacted by the burst is very large, the return of normal water supply to all areas is taking time due to the complex nature of the water supply network.

It says to ensure that water supply levels in reservoirs continue to improve across the county, night-time restrictions may be required in some areas over the coming days.

Alternative water supplies (mobile water tankers) will remain in place this evening at the following locations:
