Water supply is being restored this morning to homes in Galway City affected by a burst mains on the Lough Atalia Road last night.
Customers on the Lough Atalia Road, College Road, Wellpark Road and surrounding areas were hit by water outages and disruptions after a major burst pipe.
Repair crews worked into the early hours to isolate and repair the damaged main, and these repair works were completed at approximately 5am this morning.
Teresa Burke of Uisce Éireann thanked affected customers for their patience while repairs were ongoing.
“We acknowledge the inconvenience of an unplanned outage for our customers, and we wish to thank impacted residents for their understanding,” said Teresa.
“Our crews worked late into the night to repair this significant burst and restore supply, and we wish to thank the crews for their dedication also.”
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.
