Galway Daily news Power outages disrupting water supply

People living in the Roundstone area of Connemara may experience water outages due to work on the local reservoir until tomorrow.

Uisce Eireann and the County Council are carrying out maintenance works on the Roundstown Reservoir today.

Home and businesses supplied by the Roundstone and Errisbeg Group Water Scheme may experience water supply disruptions until 7am on Wednesday morning as a result.

An alternative water supply will be available at carpark opposite Vaughan’s Bar & Restaurant. Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tanker and, as a precaution, boil the water before drinking.

Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann will receive direct communication on this planned maintenance work.

Speaking about the maintenance works, Operations Lead with Uisce Éireann, Eoin Hughes said, “These scheduled maintenance works are necessary to continue to provide a safe and reliable supply to Roundstone and its environs.”

“Uisce Éireann understands the inconvenience when planned works like this occurs and thanks customers for their patience while we complete these essential works.”
