Uisce Éireann crews repairing burst water main in Ballyconneely

Uisce Éireann crews are currently working to repair a major burst water main in Ballyconneely and restore water to customers affected.

Customers in Ballyconneely, Mannin and surrounding areas in Co Galway may experience water outages or other supply disruptions today as a result of this burst.

Uisce Éireann have assured customers that every effort is being made to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible and repairs are expected to be completed by 3pm today.

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.
