Uisce Éireann crews are working to restore water supply to areas in the vicinity of the Headford Road in Galway city after an outage caused by a burst water main.
The outage is affecting approximately 200 homes and businesses in the area, including customers in Dun na Coiribe, Gort na Coiribe and the Terryland Retail Park.
Customers in these areas may be affected by outages or reduced pressure in their supply as a result of this.
Uisce Eireann estimated that repair works will be complete and supply restored by 4pm this afternoon, but it may take some time for people to see their full water supply restored.
Uisce Éireann’s Leo O’Shea assured affected homes and businesses that specialist Uisce Éireann crews have been dispatched to the site and are working to repair the burst and restore supply to affected customers as soon as possible.
“Uisce Éireann understands the inconvenience caused by unplanned outages and thanks affected customers for their patience while repairs are being carried out,” said Leo.
Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage.
However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to some customers as the system recharges.
