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

Uisce Éireann wishes to advise of a planned water outage which may impact customers in Loughrea and surrounding areas tomorrow night. The outage is necessary to facilitate essential water main repair works in the area.

Customers in Loughrea town and surrounding areas may experience some disruption to their supply on Thursday, 23 October from 10pm until 6am on Friday, 24 October.

Uisce Éireann’s Ger Greally said, “We understand the inconvenience caused by an interruption to supply. Every effort will be made to limit the impact of these essential works, and we would like to thank the community in advance for their patience and co-operation. Following the completion of the works, it can take two to three hours for the normal water supply to return as water refills the network, particularly for those properties on higher ground or at the end of the network.”
