Hotel Mains Failure

Logan and Corry Solicitors retained to provide advice regarding the failure of a water supply system within a medium sized hotel situated in County Armagh in Northern Ireland. The local Water Undertaker and their Contractor had been repairing the mains water pipe at Corry's Corner close to the hotel. In refilling the main they inadvertently over-pressurised the hotel's water supply. This resulted in diners in the hotel becoming drenched with water pouring from the ceiling above.We attended the site and inspected the water system. Thereafter, we carried out a laboratory analysis of the damaged fitting and liaised with the expert for the water company in the writing of a joint statement.
