The areas affected cover the entire east side of the town and surrounding communities as far as Mount Temple. 

Irish Water listed the affected areas as: Athlone Town, Baylin, Mount Temple, The Ories, Garrycastle, Dublin Road, Ardnaglug, Fardrum, Moydrum, Blyry, Killyon Hill, Bonavalley, Athlone and surrounds in Co. Westmeath. 

The water supply is due to be restored to homes and businesses between 6am and 8am tomorrow.
