Roughly 1,800 homes in the Knocknacarra area of Galway City may experience water outages today while work is taking place on the water network.
Uisce Eireann is carrying out repair works on the water network on the Rahoon Road in Knocknacarra on Monday, and turning off the local water supply is necessary to facilitate them.
The work will take place until 4pm, and may result in a disruption of supply or loss of pressure for Uisce Éireann customers in the Rahoon Road/Ballymoneen Road area.
Approximately 1,800 customers in Leas na Mara, Maoilín, Leargán, Drom Óir, Slí Gheal, Fána Buí and Drisín residential areas and surrounds may be affected.
Uisce Éireann’s Leo O’Shea thanked affected customers for their co-operation ahead of the essential works.
“We wish to acknowledge the inconvenience caused by a planned outage but these repair works are essential.”
“I can assure affected customers that crews will complete the works as quickly as possible to restore normal water supply on Monday afternoon,” said Leo.
Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network.
