Urgent Water Supply Tanker Deployed as Buncrana Outage Persists
UPDATE: A water supply tanker has been deployed at the Buncrana Fire Station to assist residents amid a significant water outage affecting the area. This urgent situation, caused by a reservoir interruption, has left numerous homes and businesses without adequate water supply.
Uisce Éireann, the national water utility provider, has confirmed that crews are actively working on-site to restore water services. However, the timeline for repairs remains uncertain, leaving many residents in need of immediate assistance. In the meantime, the tanker will serve as an alternative water source for the duration of the outage.
Residents are advised to exercise caution: Uisce Éireann has issued a boil water advisory for those using the tanker supply. The utility emphasized the importance of boiling water before consumption to ensure safety. In an official statement, Uisce Éireann noted,
“An alternative water supply is available at the fire station in Buncrana for the duration of the works. Please boil the water before use.”
Despite their efforts to disinfect the water transported by the tanker, Uisce Éireann cautioned that they cannot guarantee the containers used by the public to transport water are free from contamination. Therefore, they recommend boiling all water before use.
As the situation develops, affected residents can stay informed by visiting the Uisce Éireann website for real-time updates. The community is rallying together during this challenging time, as many rely on the tanker for their daily needs.
This ongoing water outage underscores the importance of reliable water infrastructure and its direct impact on the community’s well-being. Residents are encouraged to share information about the tanker supply to ensure everyone has access to necessary resources while repairs are underway.
Stay tuned for further updates as Uisce Éireann continues to work diligently to restore water services to Buncrana.
