Uisce Éireann working to restore water supply after major outage in Galway
The outage is affecting customers in Athenry North, East and West, Moorpark, Clarinbridge, Kilcolgan, Slievefinn, Castlelambert, Carnmore West, Cashla and Castleleen Cartymore.
Customers in these areas may be affected by outages or reduced pressure in their supply this morning.
The outage is also impacting on group water schemes in Carnmore, Cashla, Tyrone and Moorpark.
Uisce Éireann's Ger Greally has assured affected customers that every effort is being made to restore normal supply as soon as possible.
'We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while our works continue,' he said.
The company said that normally it takes two to three hours following repairs for supply to be restored to all affected by an unplanned outage, however in this instance, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers as the system recharges.
For more information, customers are advised to contact Uisce Éireann's 24/7 customer care team on 1800 278 278.
