Power outages across Galway are disrupting the water supply to multiple towns today following damage from Storm Isha.
Uisce Eireann has confirmed that people living in Tuam, Castlegar, Kilbannon, Claregalway, Oranmore and surrounding areas may experience water supply disruptions today.
This comes after Storm Isha swept across Galway on Sunday evening, causing extensive damage in its short-lived fury.
Thousands of homes and businesses remain without electricity this morning as the ESB is dealing with dozens of outages across the county.
It is currently expected that all power supplies will be restored by Monday evening, with repair crews at work.
Uisce Eireann advises that it may take 2 – 3 hours after power is restored before affected homes see their full water supply return.
Updates can be found on Uisce Eireann’s supply and service website page.
Galway remains under a Yellow weather warning for potentially dangerous winds today, which will create difficult travelling conditions.
On top of power outages there are reports of downed trees across the county, with motorists advised to exercise caution.
