Essential maintenance works to safeguard water supply taking place in North Donegal

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Uisce Éireann is carrying out essential maintenance works to safeguard the water supply for homes and businesses in North Donegal this week.

These important reservoir cleaning works will be taking place at Carrigart Water Treatment Plant today (Monday), at Ballincrick Reservoir on Tuesday and at Old Carrigart Reservoir and Cranford Water Treatment Plant on Wednesday. Crews will be carrying out these works between 7am and 6pm.

Crews will endeavour to complete the essential cleaning works and restore the supply to normal levels as quickly as possible.

Speaking about the maintenance works, Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan said: "These essential cleaning works of our reservoirs are necessary to continue to provide a safe and reliable supply to customers. The majority of customers will see their water supply return within a few hours while those on elevated sites may continue to experience an intermittent supply until later in the evening while the network fully recharges, and reservoir levels replenish".

Damien added: "Uisce Éireann understands the inconvenience when planned works like this occur and thanks customers for their patience while we complete these essential works".
