Uisce Éireann is working to restore water supply to customers supplied by Lough Mourne Public Water Supply Scheme following a burst to a trunk water main.
The burst is causing outages and low pressure for customers in the following areas including: Ballybofey, Stranorlar, Glenfin, Convoy, Drumkeen and surrounding areas.
Customers on higher ground at Raphoe and Ballindrait / Argery may also be affected.
“Dedicated water service crews have mobilised to undertake repairs and they are expected to be completed by midnight tonight.
Speaking about the burst Paul Kilcoyne, Uisce Éireann said: “The repairs to the trunk water main are being conducted as quickly as possible to minimise disruption to the local community and restore water for all customers.
“We understand the inconvenience bursts can have on customers and we appreciate their patience as we work to repair the burst and return normal water supply.”
Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage.
