People living in Mountbellew and surrounding areas may be experiencing water outages today as repairs take place on a burst mains.
There was a burst on a trunk mains near Mountbellew which occurred on Monday night.
This has resulted in some customers experiencing low water pressure and intermittent outages. Areas affected include Mountbellew town, Moylough and Newbridge.
Uisce Éireann’s Operations Manager Gerard Greally, has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible.
“We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while our works continue.”
Repairs are expected to be completed by 6pm today. 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 customers at the end of the network or on higher ground as the system recharges.
To ensure the safety of the crews carrying out the repairs to the burst and the safety of the public, traffic management will be in place and will be clearly signposted.
