Uisce Éireann crews working to restore supply to customers in Killybegs

UISCE Éireann crews are working to repair a significant burst to a water main supplying the town of Killybegs.

Crews are on site and repair works are underway. Repairs are due to be complete by 6pm this evening (Monday). 

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 on higher ground or at the end of the network. 

Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply water as quickly as possible to customers. 

“We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers impacted for their support while our repair works are ongoing,” he said.

“Our Operations crews have been able to carry out adjustments to flows on the network to reduce the impact for the majority of our customers, however, some customers in Killybegs may be impacted by reduced pressure and supply disruption until the repair work is complete this evening.”
