Water Supply Restored to South Donegal After Urgent Repairs

UPDATE: Water supply has begun to return to residents in South Donegal, specifically in Ballyshannon and Bundoran, following urgent repairs completed earlier today. Uisce Eireann confirmed that the disruptions were caused by a burst in the trunk distribution main at the Lough Melvin Water Treatment Plant.

Repair efforts have concluded, and the authority states it may take 2-3 hours for the water supply to stabilize fully. This delay primarily affects properties situated on higher ground or at the end of the distribution network. Residents and businesses are urged to conserve water during this period to assist in the restoration process.

The incident began early this morning, creating a significant impact on the daily lives of local residents. Authorities are working diligently to ensure that normal water service is resumed as quickly as possible, recognizing the essential nature of water supply for households and businesses alike.

As the situation develops, Uisce Eireann will continue to provide updates to the community, keeping everyone informed of any further changes. Residents are encouraged to stay tuned for real-time updates as the water supply gradually returns to normal levels.

Residents should remain patient and mindful of their water usage during this crucial time. The community’s cooperation is vital as Uisce Eireann works to restore services across the affected areas.
