Galway Daily news Water outages in Moycullen

Nighttime water restrictions in Tully will continue until Monday 21 August, with people in the area being urged to conserve water where possible.

The restrictions, in place from 11pm to 7am each night, are needed for a number of reasons including poor raw water quality entering the plant.

Water levels are being reviewed daily and updates are being provided to the community as necessary.

Uisce Éireann’s Eoin Hughes said the restrictions in Tully allow reservoir levels to recover overnight and maintain a consistent supply of drinking water for customers during the day.

He called on people in Galway to play their part in ensuring there is enough water for everyone as we go through the summer.

“It is important that we all consider our water usage and look at simple yet impactful ways to conserve water,” said Mr Hughes.

“It can sometimes be difficult to know where to start, but even small changes can make a significant difference, for example, turning off the hose, avoiding power washing and checking for leaks on outdoor taps.”
