Uisce Éireann working to restore water in Brosna and surrounding areas

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

Uisce Éireann is working to address supply interruptions and restore normal operations at Brosna Water Treatment Plant as quickly as possible. The treatment plant, which supplies drinking water to the communities of Brosna, Knocknagoshel and surrounding areas has been impacted by poor raw water quality from its intake on the River Clydagh which has led to the Water treatment plant having a reduced production rate than normal.

For this reason, production at the treatment plant has shut down. This has resulted in low reservoirs levels meaning customers may be impacted by an interruption to their water supply.

The overnight restriction will be in place from tonight (02 July) from 8pm to 8am until Thursday, 03 July.

Charlie O’Leary, Operations Lead, Kerry said: “We understand how disruptive unplanned outages are and we sincerely regret any inconvenience caused. We also want to thank impacted customers for their patience as we work to restore normal supplies. The overnight restrictions are a necessity as it will maintain a daytime supply. It will also allow the reservoir time to replenish.”
