All of Gort and surrounding areas of the county are experiencing water outages today due to issues at the water treatment plant.
The County Council has said that technical issues with the water treatment plant are causing outages for everyone on the Gort Regional Water Supply Scheme.
Repair works are currently underway, but no timeframe has yet been provided for when locals can expect to see their water supply restored.
It may take 2 – 3 hours after repairs are completely before people see their water return, as the network refills.
A statement from the county council said:
“Uisce Eireann and Galway County Council, Water Services wish to advise residents and businesses served by the Gort Regional Water Supply Scheme that due to technical issues at the water treatment plant, all areas served by the scheme will be without a supply of water today.”
“Works are underway to resolve the issues and further updates will issue later today.”
“Galway County Council working in partnership with Uisce Eireann regrets any inconvenience that may be caused by these essential works.”
