799 Northern Ireland properties remain without water NI Water has said that the number of Northern Ireland properties without water has been reduced to 799.
Most of those are in Cookstown, Dungannon, Newry and Warrenpoint.
A spokesperson for the company said that 500 staff are on the ground dealing with affected properties.
“The focus is on continuing to work to repair bursts on the main water supply system which is impacting on reservoir levels and dealing with air locks in the system,” she said.
However, thousands more homes are due to have their water supplies restricted overnight.
The government-owned company said it would be “at least three or four more days” before everyone was reconnected.
Some people have now been without a running water supply for two weeks.
On Sunday evening, supplies to more than 55,000 households will be cut off in order to help replenish reservoirs.
Burst pipes are expected to cause disruption at some schools scheduled to re-open on Monday following the Christmas break.
Meanwhile, Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said he would not be charging Northern Ireland for the 500,000 litres of bottled water sent over during the crisis.
NI Water has reiterated its appeal to customers to check their premises for any damage to pipes and have them repaired as soon as possible.
It has also asked the public not to use garden hoses or wash cars.
A full list of areas where the water supply will be turned off is available on the NI Water website, along with a list of locations where temporary water supplies have been set up.
