UISCE Éireann crews working to restore water supply in Lettermacaward.
Uisce Éireann crews are working to restore water supply to customers in Lettermacaward and surrounding areas this morning following a power cut to the local treatment plant.
With no power reaching the plant, water is not being pumped into the network. Teams are liaising with ESB and adjusting storage levels, but customers in Lettermacaward, Portnoo, Rossbeg and surrounding areas are expected to experience lower pressure or disruption to supply.
Adrian Gillespie of Uisce Éireann said every effort is being made to minimise the impact of the outage.
“We understand the inconvenience caused by an unplanned outage such as this and thank customers for their patience,” he said.
Power is expected to be restored to the plant later this morning. Once operational, it may take a number of hours for the network to fully refill and for supply to be restored to all customers.
Vulnerable customers registered with Uisce Éireann will receive direct communications for unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.
Customers seeking updates can contact Uisce Éireann through its website, on X at @IWCare, or via its 247 customer care helpline on 1800 278 278.
