The sub-zero temperatures in recent days have increased the number of frozen water pipes and bursts.

With the cold snap expected to continue for the next few days, Irish Water is reminding customers across Cavan and Monaghan that there are some simple steps they can take to protect against frozen pipes and bursts.

These include checking outside pipes that can become frozen and burst during periods of cold weather and, if possible, turn off water supply to these areas or to any unoccupied premises.

Alternatively, if the water system is left operational, you may consider setting the heating to come on periodically at a lower temperature.

Any customers who continue to experience any difficulties are advised to contact the Irish Water customer care helpline which is open 24/7, on 1800 278 278.

Customers can also contact Irish Water on Twitter @IWCare with any queries.
