Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a major burst water main in Ballyconneely and restore water to customers affected.
Customers in Ballyconneely, Mannin, Derrygimia, Derrigimlagh and surrounding areas in Co Galway may experience water outages or other supply disruptions today as a result of this burst.
Uisce Éireann’s Ciarán Conneely 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 3pm 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.
