Some 200 homes on the west side of Galway City may experience water outages lasting until Monday afternoon while connection works take place.
Uisce Eireann is carrying out new connection works on the Letteragh Road on the western outskirts of the city.
The work began at 10am on Monday morning and is expected to continue until 4pm this afternoon.
In order to facilitate the works, approximately 200 Uisce Éireann customers in the area may experience outages or disruption to their water supply.
Customers along parts of the Letteragh Road, Cúirt Chéirín, The Bailey, The Heath, Breacán and parts of Circular Road as far as Bushypark NS may be affected. Bushypark NS itself will not be affected.
Temporary traffic management measures will be put in place during the works.
Uisce Éireann’s Leo O’Shea assured customers that crews will complete the works and restore normal supply as quickly as possible.
“These planned works are necessary to connect new homes to the public water supply,” said Leo. “We wish to thank affected customers for their understanding and patience while the works are ongoing.”
Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network.
