Mechanical issue causes water supply issues in Buncrana

UISCE Éireann is working to restore normal water supply to homes and businesses in Buncrana following a mechanical issue at Slavery Water Treatment Plant.

Customers in Buncrana and surrounding areas will experience low water pressure or outages today as a result.

Water service crews have been deployed and are on site working to restore normal operation of the water treatment plant.

Damien O’Sullivan Uisce Éireann, said: “We understand the inconvenience this is causing, and our teams are working to restore the water supply as quickly as possible and it is anticipated that water supply will be returned later today. Once normal operations are restored, it will take several hours for the network to refill and normal supply to return to all customers.”

Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications from us for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.
