Uisce Éireann are progressing with works to restore normal water supply to homes and businesses in Ballindaggan following an interruption to supply at the Ballindaggan Water Treatment Plant earlier this week.
While Uisce Éireann crews are currently on site carrying out restoration works, given the complexity of the repairs, the restoration time has been extended to 4pm on Friday, October 3rd.
Uisce Éireann’s Padraig Lyng said; “Uisce Éireann would like to apologise for the inconvenience of the extended nature of this unplanned outage and would like to thank customers for their support while our crews work to ensure that a normal water supply is returned to those impacted as quickly and safely as possible.”
Alternative water supplies are available at Ballindaggan Church.
Customers are advised to bring their own containers and to boil the water before use as a precaution.
Uisce Éireann’s Padraig Lyng has assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible. “We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while our works continue.”
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 at the end of the network or on higher ground as the system recharges.
