The latest incident has prompted criticism locally, with this being the second Sunday in succession that residents have been affected by an unplanned outage.
Residents and businesses across Leixlip, Maynooth, Celbridge and surrounding areas are facing water disruption today following another burst main on the R148 Maynooth Road outside Leixlip.
Uisce Éireann says crews are carrying out emergency repairs, which are expected to be completed by around 5pm.
Water supplies will then return gradually, with customers in higher areas or at the ends of the network potentially waiting longer.
The latest incident has prompted criticism locally, with Leixlip-Celbridge councillor Nuala Killeen saying it is the second Sunday in succession that residents have been affected by an unplanned outage.
She has called for the connection to be upgraded, arguing that repeated repairs are not providing a lasting solution.
Traffic management measures are in place while the repair work continues.
