Low reservoir levels at Creagh affects North Wexford

By Dan Walsh

Uisce Éireann is advising customers served by the Creagh Water Treatment Plant in Gorey that operational issues have led to low reservoir levels this afternoon. 

Due to the depleted reservoir levels, customers in Clonattin and Ballymoney may experience a water outage or reduced water pressure. 

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 normal supply is being restored.” 

He explained crews are on site and it is expected to have full supply restored by 10pm tonight. 

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.
