Water supply to return to customers in Mayo town

Water is being restored to customers in Crossmolina following an issue at the local treatment plant. 

Customers on the Erris Road have been experiencing disruption to their supply this morning, but the network is now recharging. 

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network. 

In the meantime, customers in parts of Crossmolina are being supplied with water from the Ballina Rural Water Supply Scheme and an alternative water supply is available at Munnelly’s Garage.

Uisce Éireann’s Colette Scahill thanked customers for their patience while the network recharges. 

“We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage, and we thank customers for their support while our works are ongoing,” she said.

Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann can expect to receive direct communications from them for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours. 

The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and updates are also issued on their X page.
