Uisce Éireann customers supplied by the Tuam (Corrib) Regional Water Supply can expect further disruption to their supply today following loss of power at the treatment plant.
Power was restored at the plant yesterday (Saturday) and water was returning to the 42,000 customers on the supply.
However, another power outage at the water treatment plant today has hampered progress.
The areas impacted include Tuam, Athenry, Oranmore, Clarinbridge, Loughrea, Claregalway, Corofin and surrounding areas.
Uisce Éireann’s Anthony Skeffington assured customers that Uisce Éireann and ESB crews are working tirelessly to bring the plant back into operation.
“Our crew are on the ground at the Tuam Regional Water Supply and right across Co Galway working to restore water services as quickly as possible,” he said.
“But given the extent of the damage to the power network, it may take some time before full service is restored everywhere.”
“We thank our customers for their continued patience during this challenging time.”
